Paul: The engineering notice above your post shows that the transmitter came back on at 16:02 yesterday. It is however still possible that further work is taking place that hasn't show yet on the engineering noticed. As per my reply to Mark Jones, do not attempt to retune your TV.

susan vann: As per my post above, there has been engineering work taking place at Brierly Hill this week, although there are no notices showing any further work since Wednesday. Have you checked with any of your neighbours who use the same communal system as to whether they are having the same problem? If they are, you should contact the management company responsible for the building and get them to send someone to investigate.
