This website is owned by 'Briantist' and only he can do any updates. However, he has not done any for some months now, we regular contributors do not know why.
If you require details of transmitters in your area please go to the Digital UK Coverage Checker at Digital UK - Coverage checker and enter the required information.

Transmitters are not turn off at night, so you either have an aerail fault or else interference caused by something operated with a timer.
