Since the thunder storm today, 22 June 2017, I have no TV signal to any of the TV sets in my house, I cannot find a telephone number to enquire whether there is a transmitter problem or whether my aerial has been fried by the Lightning. Help!

Tony: There are no faults showing for the Dover transmitter, although faults don't always show straight away so it would be worth asking your neighbours whether their Freeview is still working. If you have multiple TVs fed from the same aerial, you may well have an amplifier or powered splitter so that would be the first place to check if it has been damaged or the power supply may have failed.
