Simon Sutcliffe: It seems that there is engineering work currently taking place at the Skipton transmitter. You indicate that you have frequent problems, however the last engineering notice (prior to today) was back in July so it seems likely that you may have a problem with your aerial system (although any attempts at fault finding should be delayed until the transmitter engineering work is completed).
