Last night (13 Nov 2011) the digital BBC1,2,3&4 channels from the Chesterfield tansmitter disappeared for variable periods of time (>10mins) during the whole evening.
This affected all our TVs. The signal is back tonight and steady so far. Was this a transmitter problem or an atmospheric issue?
Normally we have very stong signals for all channels from our rooftop aerial.
Thanks for your help,
David

David: There were reports of loss of signal on Belmont, Sandy Heath and Sheffield in addition to your own experience which would suggest that the inversion effect was to blame. Mark Fletcher in Halifax was able to receive a Dutch TV station on C32 for a short time... see his post on the Freeview on Belmont TV transmitter page.

Going back to David's problems on 13/11/2011, my mother at S8 7fu lost channels 1 to 5 from 7pm until after 9pm. Seemed strange that she should lose these and still get all the extra freeview channels. She had a new rooftop aerial fitted three months ago, pointed to the Chesterfield transmitter, and everything was perfect until this one evening.
Meanwhile, I, at S35 3jh using Emley Moor, lost everything but the BBC channels on the same evening at 8pm onwards for ten minute intervals. At least with analogue the picture got worse but was still watchable.
