I find too often that signals for channels such as BBC4 suddenly switch off when recording a late night program. What is this reason for this?
I'm using the East Anglia signals from the Belmont Tx.

There has been a lot of DSO related work on the DAB and FM transmitters, does that mean the radio DSO is imminent?

I'm getting a "no-signal" message on DTV. Is there a transmission problem in my area? the aerial is on the roof and has worked fine since we went digital.

K Hunt: No faults have been reported on the Belmont transmitter which is indicated as being the main station that covers your area, however said area does appear to be one of potentially poor reception, likewise if you are using any form of booster on your aerial system then this may possibly have failed, therefore if its easily accessible you should try by passing it.
By the way, if you are using a booster? it should be noted that this can still be defective even although the "power on" light on the device might still be illuminated.

ann: No engineering work is being out on Belmont's Freeview transmitters, therefore the problem referred to has to be associated with your installation. If a jumper lead is being used to couple the TV into a wall socket, check that the connector plugs on both ends of the lead are fully inserted into their respective sockets.
On the issue of no sound from the Sky box, if this is coupled into the TV via a scart lead, then check it out in similar way as done with the jumper lead.
Further advice dependant on the outcome of the aforementioned.

Hi All.
Watching TV on Sunday 12/4/2015 and the channels form Multiplex COM4 and Multiplex PSB3 just seemed to go missing. It was quite windy at the time, so I adjusted my ariel with a broomstick, as you do, and it looked fine. I was wondering was there any problems with the transmitter, before I change the contract ariel (that has worked fine beforehand)
Regards.

Chris: Possibly yes, as its still listed in the planned engineering page with the status of "possible weak signal". Although a better assessment could be made with regards to whether or not your problem is likely to be connected with any possible reduction in power if you had indicated your location, i.e: post code or one from nearby such as a shop / post office.
By the way, that said is on the assumption that you are referring to Belmont.
