Tonight, 5th June, 2016, we have had the plug pulled on the Clacton transmitter completely. No BBC Radio or Television, at all, also all ITV, CHANNEL 4 and CHANNEL 5 channels all gone. Ruined the Football on ITV ! came back for very short time and then"BANG" everything all disappeared again.
The last channels to be restored and become stable were all the HD ones.
Noticed that BBC THREE slot has also disappeared now.
As I am typing this, everything has disappeared for the fourth time. What is going on ???
