Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Membury (West Berkshire, England) mast?
UK Free TV shows the coverage area for a radio transmitter as a coloured overlay (orange for FM, other colours for DAB) on the grey map. We have computed the coverage by combining the terrain with the official radiation pattern. A single click will select the transmitter to view the coverage for a single site, and a double click goes to a page showing full details. Click on the buttons in the right-hand corner of the map to choose from different frequencies (or multiplexes for DAB).

"Off Air from 06:58 today" - we know that bit. What we'd like to know is a possible "On air" time

peter: The transmitter will be back on air when the problem has been fixed (planed engineering work is unlikely this week so it's most likely off due to a fault, probably weather related). Given that no one on this website has anything to do with any broadcaster or transmitter company we don't know how long it will take.

StevensOnln1: I realise that ukfree just echos BBC's info. It was more of a general rant (an the Beeb would have some idea as to whether it is hours, days or weeks) because I have tried cmoplaining to the BBC before and it is absolutely pointless!

peter: But the BBC does not own or operate the transmitters - they were sold off years ago - Aquiva operates them, and the BBC, ITV pays them to transmit their channels. So its Aquiva you should be asking - I'm sure the BBC would like it up and running as soon as possible.

Why is it my car (2012 A6) DAB radio loses reception of all DAB stations when I pass the transmitter on the M4?

Simon S: Either the stations you're listening to aren't broadcast from Membury (it only broadcasts the BBC National, Swindon and Berkshire local muxes, it doesn't broadcast D1 National or SDL National), or being so close to the transmitter is overloading your radio's tuner. I've always found that D1 stations drop out when driving past Membury, but I've always put it down to D1 signal being weak along that stretch of the M4.
