john parker: According to the engineering post which has appeared since you posted, the Sailsbury transmitter is off air for planned engineering work which began at approximately 10:35 this morning. It doesn't say when the work will be completed, but most engineering work is done by early evening. Transmitter work is often weather dependant, making it difficult to notify in advance of when the work will take place. Do not attempt to retune.

Engineering work is carried out without any notification of when it will be completed. So much depends on what the work involves and how long it takes the Engineers to complete the tasks required.
According to the BBC, work on the TV transmitters was completed at 1448 and on the DAB transmitters at 1458.
