David Hitchin, carol halligan & Terry hough: An engineering post has appeared which confirms that the transmitter was off air for around 2 hours earlier this evening. Resetting is never recommended during a sudden loss of signal as all it does it to delete all of the correctly tuned channels and search for them again.
