David Roseveare: The Caradon Hill transmitter has been listed for engineering work for the last few weeks. Unfortunately no information is given regarding what work is taking place or when it is due to be completed.

After being able to access UKFreeTV via my new broadband connection for the last week (but without being able to post comments) I am now back to getting the blank page with TR in the corner. It seems that I can now only access the site via EE 4G on my tablet again.

Wendy: There is currently engineering work listed for Durris, unfortunately no completion date is given. Retuning was a bad idea as you may have deleted the tuning data for some or all of your channels which were already correctly tuned.

michael: I suspect you might be referring to the removal of Huawei equipment from 4G/5G mobile base stations, which often share the same tower/structure but have nothing to do with transmitting either Freeview, DAB or FM radio. The UK government announced a ban on the use of Huawei equipment by the mobile networks back in 2020 due to security concerns over the potential for access by the Chinese government and set a deadline to remove existing Huawei equipment by the end of 2027, so this has been ongoing for some time and will continue over the next few years.

Brian Thompson: There is engineering work listed this week for the Waltham transmitter. As you have retuned you may find that some of your channels have been deleted, requiring you to retune again once the signal has returned to get them back.

John Cowell: AFAIK Sky only provide a catch-up/on demand service for their subscribers.

Jill F3nemore: This is an independent technical help website, nobody here has anything to do with any engineering work. Unfortunately Arqiva (the company who operate the transmitter) don't usually give any details of what works they are carrying out or when they are due to be completed.

Jill Fenemore: Chris is another volunteer contributor. The transmitter engineering post you replied to comes from an automated feed provided by BBC Engineering. The Freeview helpline don't have access to any detailed engineering information, they're just a call centre who read from a script.

Jim: Your postcode is predicted to have good reception of the Inverness local BAB mux which carries Absolute 60s. Have you tried any other stations such as BBC Radio Scotland, which is carried on the same local multiplex?
