Mairi Sinclair: There doesn't seem to have been an advance warning of transmitter work, so it seems likely that the transmitter is off air due to a fault rather than planned engineering work with no estimate of when service will be restored. Do not attempt to retune as this will result in all of your correctly tuned channels being deleted.
