If you want more channels and don't want a subscription then your best option is Freesat.

MikeB/MikeP: Thanks for the comments.
Having wished to replicate the problems I used Virtual Box to install Windows 7 and then set up IE9.
It was actually quite hard to persuade Microsoft to let me download IE9. There was huge warnings saying "install IE11".
Having got it installed, I went to bed. When I got up, the PC had downloaded IE11 itself and installed it and rebooted.
So, I can't believe the effort some people have made to stick with a buggy, browser.
I keep find myself thinking "it's called SOFTware for a reason" and muttering about the universal turning machine under my breath.
Anway, there is an IE9 workaround to the first problem (.classList) here
what is the solution to remove/add a class in pure javascript? - Stack Overflow
and the other one (getElementByID) here

Which I have popped into the javascript library used for the responsive menus.
As far as I can tell this has fixed the problem with IE9. It's inelegant and I don't like it.

MikeP: I am using an MSDN installer for Windows 7, they sometimes have settings that are not part of the "normal" distribution.
I *did* specifically choose not to install updates and when I went back and checked it was set at "auto install everything". I asked someone else to check when I did it on the second image and it just ingored what I had selected. The joys of developer testing editions!
I was just trying to build a stable test-system image so I could store it and copy it back if I need to try it again. I've got lots of old Windows XP setups like that for a project I did a few years ago.
When I did it the second time I ensure I went into Windows Update and selected "never offer this update" for IE10 and IE11.
There's not much risk to the VM image, I'm never going to use if for anything other than testing. I'll delete it and use the reference image if anything happens.
I did install MSSE on the image, just to prevent the nags.

Carol lewis: This is a fault - it looks like a power outage - so it going to take as long as necessary to fix the problem....
Don't retune your TV sets, just wait for the service to return.
It could be storm damage, given the weather today.

murgatroyd: The DAB information gets updated automatically from the Ofcom system. My site makes a call on theirs once a day and if there any changes you can see them straight away.

vic: The most likley reason is there is something wrong "at your end".
As you point out, with the Rowridge transmitter serving 620,000 homes, if there was a transmitter problem, other people would have noticed by now.
I would start by looking at

John Martin: So, you've been having problems since ... what 16th August 1996 and 15th November 1998 and haven't thought to seek professional help in 18 years?
I wasn't aware anyone was forcing you to watch "Made in Chelsea". It is certainly not compulsory!
