Below are all of Debs's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Why is it that the engineers at the Sutton Coldfield Transmitter have found it necessary to turn the transmitter off between 00:50 and 05:57 every day this week and yet cannot 'predict' this until after the event ???
Also, every night this week, BBC1 has shown a fairly good film in the late evening which is ALWAYS scheduled to finish at 01:10. Could the engineers not wait 20 minutes so that those of us who are only able to watch TV at this time could atleast see the end of the film ???????

Sutton Coldfield
I live at B75 6LF.
I have a Digital Aerial located on the roof which is set to receive signal from the Sutton Coldfield Transmitter. I have a Digital Television with freeview included. I do not use analogue TV channels.
Over the last few weeks there has been an intermittent loss of signal for TV channels. This was happening very occasionally but is becoming more regular. The TV will be working perfectly fine and then both sound and vision will disappear. The TV displays NO SIGNAL and if I change channel, they all seem to be affected.
The loss of signal can be for a few seconds but can also last for a few minutes. The signal returns just as quickly as it disappears.
I am currently on leave so have had the TV on during the day. Yesterday (Sunday 5th June) I lost the signal six times in rapid succession-starting at 10am. Today (Monday 6th) the same thing happened again at just gone 10am- 3 losses of signal in rapid succession plus one lasting a lot longer. It then happened again at just after 11am.
Would appreciate any suggestions on how to remedy this. Thank-you.
