Posted this via another page but it doesn't appear here so here goes again.

BBC FM Radio from Tacolneston ceased stereo transmissions about 30 minutes ago - and just came back.

Any idea why?

My Sony RDR-HXD970 has lost all TV.

What is going on?

It's a national problem:- Sony 870 DVD Recorder - No Freeview | AVForums.com - UK Online

Freeview gone again.

Last time it was a program guide problem (Sony RDR-HXD970) that Sony had to work around.

Symptoms identical this time - no EPG and message "This operation is not available at this time.".

Another EPG problem or is Tacolneston off air?

Ignore last post; retune did it but clearly there was a problem with EPG.

Very unhappy about this thread not least because the OP misses the point, as has been said, about cost of revenue collection: the BBC is (to all intents) an arm of government so its costs are marginal - collection of a government tax.

Then there is the truly shabby way trevorharris is treated: he has a different opinion from most here and from what I read it is based on facts e.g. HD PQ.

I refuse to have Sky (Murdoch, say no more) and am thoroughly fed up with the BBC's lousy programming, lack of sport etc.

I also object to paying a penny to a state broadcaster that is heavily politically biased (in the '97 general election Labour activists were working alongside BBC staff in news rooms!).

I'd scrap the BBC in a heartbeat and leave them to compete on an even playing field. If that meant the loss of a couple of TV channels and a few radio channels so be it: just who cares about BBC Three?

That said, I'd happily pay a minimal fee to a private company just for BBC2 & 4 plus parts of R2, 3, 4 and WS - provided political bias is removed.

th said he's not a Sky employee so how many BBC supporters are employed by it? /sarc

Posted but not showing up here.

Tacolneston transmitter.

Receiving in NR28 9PU

All BBC TV channels are missing and displaying no signal.

Other channels OK.

Rescan done: 63 channels found.

Appears to be a transmitter fault but will check other users. ITM, is there any news?
