No signal in SA91HH since 15:38 is this going to be off all night can someone explain why?

Peter Lewis: I can't answer your question as to how long it might be, but try looking in your 800s for other services. You might be lucky and be able to get Pontardawe (indeed your receiver might have stored them on logical channel number 800 and above) which is roughly in the same direction.
