Terrific thump on the power suuply about 15 minutes ago and now nothing at all from the relay on any channel. As the electricity supply is still working I can only assume the thump was caused by the relay going down. It seems to be one of the more unreliable relays in the country despite the paucity of channels it handles.

I think it went down at about 11.05am and it's still off now - 12.05. It seems to be one of the most unreliable relays in the country. Roll on Freeview Play and TV via the internet
