Update. This could be a problem with the feed to the transmitter as there is a similar problem with the Innerleithen relay transmitter. See that page for details.

You have made this post on the DAB transmitter page. You made your original post on the Freeview transmitter page and I gave you a response with suggestions here -

It's no good moaning at me, or anyone else here., especially as you haven't said where you are, I can't give any technical help. I gave you one example of a temporary relay that wasn't serving a large town!
You know about the Arqiva Bilsdale Helpsite, whilst that hasn't really had much of an update as you know, if you phone the help number 0800 121 4828 there is a pre-recorded message with the latest information and you can leave your details for them to call you back.
The latest information in the public domain was back in November AFAIK, you should have seen it in the MSM eg. -
Sunak given assurances over Bilsdale transmitter progress - Richmondshire Today

I have spoken to Arqiva who were as much help as a pile of ....., who said speak to Freeview and we all know they say nothing to do with us.
So I've spoken to Channel 4 who will try and get a message through to someone on out-of-hours call (but of course no guarantees!).
So if anyone else wants to try ITV or Channel 5 it might add more grist to the mill.

The "direction of travel" that Davie is indicating is not something that will have happened by 2030!!
Most people are of the opinion that there will still be traditional broadcast TV in 2034 but maybe less of it and more on-line which people will be able to get with their smart TVs or a small box you could use with any TV that isn't smart.

Update - You should now have your content back on PSB2. I've had a call-back from someone I spoke to this afternoon who managed to contact a relevant party at Arqiva and it seems the call to Channel 4 produced a result. Arqiva had a call-out last night. Good news.

Grahame Jones :
You are the second person reporting an issue in this ITV Border region albeit from another relay transmitter. There's obviously some fault affecting PSB2/D3&4 which is either unreported or not filtered its way through to any list of reports that I can see.
You could try contacting Arqiva - the company that looks after most of the transmitters
0333 032 8000
Tell them that there seems to be an issue with the PSB2 mux and the Peebles relay transmitter is also affected, can they please pass the problem on to whoever.
If that fails -
Try ringing ITV (News) 020 7833 3000 this is the only number I can find (that may be answered at this time of day)
They may say nothing to do with us, but repeat the above as you don't know who else can be contacted at this time of night.
Also try Channel 4 020 7396 4444 or maybe 0345 076 0191
and Channel 5 020 7308 5090 or 020 3580 3600
Say the same if you can get an answer.
I don't know which of those numbers may be manned at this time of night.
