Gary Szreider:

This independent helpsite is saying that the transmitter has no problems because there've been no automatic updates available for some reason, however having done some checks I can find no faults listed for the transmitter and it's not listed for Planned Engineering.

Your signal loss is most likely due to current weather conditions. Unfortunately temperature inversion/tropospheric ducting is accompanying the high pressure weather system causing signals from distant transmitters in Europe or the UK to affect reception of wanted signals. It can vary by the second, minute, hour or longer as well as being possibly intermittent.
Freeview and the BBC have current warning about potential intermittent disruption to reception.
The conditions may ease on Wednesday but may return towards the weekend.

Do NOT retune, when correctly tuned, all this is likely to do is clear your current tuning if no signal is found at that time.
