Wednesday, 24 August 2011: BBC2, ITV1 and C4 (all analogue) went off air late last night. I note that there is engineering work over this week. Is it possible for you to state when stations will be off air?
I currently do not have digital. I will need to install an aerial or satellite dish first of all. That will not happen this week.
Thank you in advance for any information.

John: Sorry, but I only have the information provided by the BBC and Digital UK. The latter provides the "TV (analogue) Liable to interruption, TV (digital) Liable to interruption" information which is as much as they publish.
If you can receive an analogue service from Rowridge now you will be able to receive a digital service from it after switchover, but as you have not provided a full postcode then I can't say any more.

John: The Digital UK Planned Engineering Works page now says:
Rowridge Transmitter and its relays - 25 August 2011
Some viewers may experience disruption to services during essential switchover engineering work on Thursday 25 August between 00:00 and 06:00 and 09:30 and 11:30. Digital UK apologise for any inconvenience.
Services that will be disrupted:
TV Analogue services - BBC2, ITV and Channel 4.
TV Digital services - Mux B
Radio Analogue services - BBC Radio 1,2,3 and 4 (between 09:30 and 11:30 only)
Digital UK - Planned Engineering Works
DUK are often not giving much notice, because they're relying on being told by Arqiva, who seem to give very little notice (if any).
