How strange that you are getting no reception. I've just done a quick check and can't find any current reports of any faults and it's not listed for Planned Engineering, nor does there appear to be any predicted "Tropo" about, though there may be some Tuesday morning but not the intensity we've just had.
Do all the obvious checks, aerial still pointing correctly, coax plugs, any powered splitters etc.
Yes, that huge mast IS the likely offender, from the (limited) checks I can do, it seem quite new and most likely will use 700MHz amongst other frequency allocations.
I've come across quite a few postcodes where postcards have "supposedly" been sent but "never" been received!
