Mrs Allen: If you have a stable internet connection (ideally 5Mbps or faster) there are various movie subscripition services that are worth considering. As this website is focused on free TV I won't go in to detail, but Amazon Prime, Netflix and Now TV are all worth looking at.

Richard Morgan:

The BBC are reporting a fault.
Whilst the BBC have reported fault details on their individual transmitter page, they have NOT (yet?) added it to a page which is an engineering list of Freeview faults which is where the updates to this site come from.

From 9:05:23am on 27th Nov 2021 BBC A / BBCB HD Off the air due to a fault

This is most likely due to current abysmal weather conditions, and if due to a power outage you'd best be looking for details regarding such outages in your area. I can't find any further updates at present.

Bryan Bond:

The transmitter isn't listed for Planned Engineering and I can't find any faults listed at present. It's most likely to be due to current weather conditions.

There is moderate Temperature Inversion/Tropospheric Ducting affecting large parts of the UK at present. Do NOT retune, it will more likely remove your correct tuning.

These conditions are predicted to ease later on Wednesday.
Despite the incorrect spelling, this link does work - simple technical explanation
https://www.bbc.co.uk/rec….jpg

Essentially it results in interfering signals from other transmitters in the UK or Europe reaching you and so your wanted signals are disrupted. It won't necessarily affect all multiplexes or necessarily at the same time if more than one. It can last for seconds, minutes, sometimes hours or longer.
