Will today's (270711) Berrynarbor transmitter engineering stop most of the mainly brief loss of signal every couple of weeks that I an my neighbours suffer? I believe there may be more during the day but don't watch enough and like many in the village I can switch to Sky.
This has continued on and off since switchover!

Mr R B Boyd: It would appear that this transmitter is very troubled by faults.
I would hope that today's all-day work will see a long-term fix to the problem.
Finger crossed.

Mr R B Boyd: Looking at Digital UK's 'Almanac' document, feeding this transmitter is a bit tricky. At switchover, the feed changed from being directly off-air from Ilfracombe to being picked up via Combe Martin (itself fed from Ilfracombe). Ilfracombe was originally fed from Caradon Hill and moved to Huntshaw Cross.
If there's a problem anywhere in the chain from Huntshaw Cross - Ilfracombe - Combe Martin - Berrynarbor, it'll affect your reception.
Digital UK's Planned Engineering Works page does list 'Service Shutdowns' this week on Ilfracombe and Combe Martin - they must have forgotten to update the status for Berrynarbor (and Chambercombe, which is also fed from Ilfracombe).
Looking at the Combe Martin page, it looks like the problem was upstream, as the same issues are reported at the same times.
