I don't think I suggested that you did or should, I was giving you information and where to get what should be more accurate information. If you don't want to make use of it, that's your choice.

Well that is slightly odd, the transmitter should have been back on air early afternoon on the 5th. But there are reports from the BBC for twice on the 5th for different (overlapping) timeslots, I'm wandering if the 2nd entries are in fact for today 6th Feb. In any event the transmitter should have been back on the air since 1.08pm if it applied to today.
The another retune, first with the aerial unplugged which will clear all previous tuning as no channels will be found, then with the aerial back in again. If you are manually tuning, the UHF channels are C39, C45, & also C42 for the BBC B HD multiplex if your set does HD.
