Gnasher: The transmission company, Arqvia, has until 6pm to perform the switchover.
Not sure what you would do with your 20 pence if you did get a refund.

Ant: Why it's not showing up in the BBC fault system is a good question, given that it is automatic.

In Crowthorne, was looking forward to finally getting a first taste of Freeview today, and I find I have 0% signal strength, No services found... (I have picked some up in the past with favourable atmospheric conditions).

Gnasher -- a TV receiving licence only permits you to receive TV broadcasts -- it does not guarantee that TV broadcasts will be available.
Also please remember that the BBC are at the mercy of Red Bee, Siemens, and Arqiva since the BBC is no longer a broadcasting organisation but a program schedule provider.
Apart from Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales, the BBC do not play out or do the continuity for their TV stations, and have not trasmitted any programs since the privatisation of the transmitter network in 1997.
Remember the political justification has always been that service is always provided at a better quality by profit making companies than publicly owned organisations, as well as increasing the wealth of private investors.

Lawrence: As per the above comments, there is a post-switchover fault which is expected to be resolved by 6pm at the latest.

Instead of all this guesswork and us all wading through, with the greatest of respect guys, techies lamenting about signal strengths and mux waveform readings a simple SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT, somewhere on the web, would be nice saying 'please bear with us, we hope to resume a service by 6pm today' or something. Why is common sense is too simplistic?
SO Hannington / BBC South Today boffins if you are reading this we are your customers that have to pay you a licence fee so how about it please? ITS CALLLED CUSTOMER SERVICE!
Grrrrrr
