Lochwinnoch transmitter has been off tonight since about 22.35 It is still off right now at 22.45 and I am about to turn off the TV. All available channels seem to be affected according to a sample I took across the range including Standard and HD channels. Update, it came back on at 22.46.

Ken Johnsn:
The Lochwinnoch transmitter is a relay of the Darvel main transmitter which is currently listed for Planned Engineering. It's possible that work may have caused the interruption as I can find no fault listed at this time.
