Pj Gallagher: The last entries showing above your posts show that engineering work was taking place around a month ago, with nothing reported since then. If you have had signal problems for several weeks, there is almost certainly something wrong with your aerial system. It certainly isn't anything to do with this website which has no connection with any broadcaster or transmitter company.
