digital programs disappeared at 07:00 (est) and still no return at 08:11.
had to hunt for the analog button on the TV!
i hope that whatever maintenance is done this morning, it results in a stronger signal and a return to Film4!

ALL: This is a fault condition, not planned engineering work.

Does the Radio (digital) in these posts refer only to the 'TV' Radio or DAB Radio or both? (51.14,-000.04)

Chris: Assuming your postcode is RH5 5BH which you've put in before, you have very high probability of reliable reception, including Mux D.
You've previously indicated having problems with C66. If this happens when it's raining, the problem could be water ingress into junction boxes or cables. Higher frequencies are affected to a greater extent than lower ones. Cables are damaged by exposure to the sun over time, which can allow water to penetrate, or, if not well secured, the cable can rub against brickwork or tiles and eventually the insulation wears through.
Mux D also has the lowest signal levels of all, which is another reason it can be worse affected than other multiplexes.

I notice that most transmitter engineering posts are about what happened 'yesterday'. Wouldn't it be more useful to know what's going to happen, say, today or tomorrow? (+51.14,-000.04)

Mark Heselden: The 'Transmitter Engineering' posts are automatically generated by submitting trial postcodes to the BBC's Reception webpage and reading Digital UK's Planned Engineering Works page.
The BBC's Reception page only tells you about events that are happening or have happened. They are reports of faults that occurred, detected through automatic monitoring or through viewer reports. If they say 'DSO related' it means that they had been notified about the work.
DUK's Planned Engineering Works page shows future works, but is often not updated for relatively short breaks, and frequently the notice given is incredibly short - a few hours.

The signal in Redhill Surrey is awful!
We lack channels and those we get don't have a great signal!
Are aerial is new & positioned correctly.
It seems to be the signal we get from Reigate.
What can be done to fix this issue?
