Yes it would be nice to get rid of the DSO change over message. Does it have a time limit or does it only stop when you press yellow?

Hi all channels have come back on, thanks for the replies thought it was our aerial as our neighbours' TV OK, but then again they may have just missed the no TV blip. Thanks for engineering work message.

All channels are down.. except for Analogue Channel 5... nothing on freeview or analogue...
Information above say no issues on this transmitter..
Maybe a broadcasted box over air.. as many people won't know what is happening!
