Nick Scott: There is engineering work due to take place over the next couple of weeks at Whitehawk Hill (see link below) however no firm dates are given as the work is weather dependent. Do not attempt to retune as this will cause all of your channels to be deleted. If your signal hasn't returned after a few hours, start checking for loose or damaged cables or connections etc.
