Stuart Manson: According to Freeview, there are engineering works at Long Mountain transmitter, which is where Llandinam gets its feed from:
Planned engineering works | Freeview
There is a comment to this site from someone on the Carno transmitter complaining of issues. Carno is another relay of Long Mountain.
Long Mountain has 14 relays: Broneirion*, Carno*, Castle Caereinion, Kerry, Llanbrynmair*, Llandinam*, Llanfyllin, Llangadfan, Llangurig UHF*, Llangynog, Llanidloes*, Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant, Moel Y Sant, Tregynon. Those marked with a '*' are shown as having the following faults by BBC Reception [bbc.co.uk/reception]:
From 10:35am on 30th Oct 2023 BBC A Off the air due to a fault
From 3:44pm to 6:51pm on 27th Oct 2023 BBC A Off the air due to a fault
From 3:44pm to 6:51pm on 27th Oct 2023 BBC B HD Off the air due to a fault
All others have no faults, including Long Mountain itself.
Of those six with faults, one is Llandinam and the other five are relays of Llandinam, this information from mb21 Transmitter Gallery.
Also from mb21, Llandinam is now line fed (fed by fibre line) from Long Mountain, although there are antennas at Llandinam pointing at Long Mountain, perhaps as standby (this just speculation on my part).
