We had reception as usual this morning but now have nothing. Tried the re-tune procedure but no change. When will the Avening transmitter be back online?
Many thanks

Mark Tew: As it says above, digital TV is off the air from 10am. No expected time of recommencement of services is shown. I expect that it will be turned back on again when the work is finished.

You live only a short walk away from the transmitter. The most likely source of an estimate as to when it is likely to be back on are the engineers who are working there.

The problem you have now is that having run the retune sequence you have untuned your TV so you won't know when it's back on. For this reason don't retune in such circumstances because it just makes the situation worse. Only retune if you know that the tuning is at fault (which then begs the question why is it at fault?).
