Hi John, oh how tedious. A few pointers for you, btw it's not a "Light" transmitter as it has the 6 main muxes.
If/when you phone Freeview try Option 3, it may be a different team of people, the other options will be very busy because of the current Winter Hill retune event 26 Feb 2020 - Wait times for viewers calling the Freeview Advice Line | Freeview
I don't suppose that if your set does automatic retunes, that it may have inadvertently retuned BBCB to the Hannington channel on UHF C39? The BBC reported this fault From 0:01pm to 0:21pm on 20th Feb 2020 BBC B HD - Off the air due to a fault, so it may have retuned? Hannington is in virtually the identical direction.
See Problems with Freeview reception? | Help receiving TV and radio put your postcode and house name/number into the boxes.
As it's one of the BBC muxes, you could try the Beeb on 03700 100 123 office hours, you're more likely to get some sense. If you ring out of hours, it goes to a general viewer number and you won't get the tech people.

And I repeat, contact BBC Engineering where you are more likely to get a quicker and better response, but I also hope you've checked your set hasn't automatically retuned to another transmitter when Haslemere went off with a fault.
