brendon hawkins: The first and most obvious thing to check must be that the amplifier is power on. Power failure (or a fault with the device) is likely to result in no signal coming out of it.

Why was the note about the freeview being off on Thursday 14 June not shown on this site until the next day? When i checked that night I am sure it was not displayed causing me concern as to why I had no picture. An explanation would be appreciated.

Tom Murphy: This is an independent site. Information provided on it comes from official sources. Because the sources don't notify the site when there is a change or update to the engineering work, it is up to the site to "look". I have no idea how often it does this, but it stands to reason that there could be a delay in the information getting onto this site. This is why, at the top of the page where it says that BBC and Digital UK report no faults, that there is a link to recheck. Clicking the link will cause the site to "look" at the source information. The link is not present where there is an engineering works report shown.
You can view the source information yourself by going to:
- Digital UK | www.digitaluk.co.uk/engineeringworks
- BBC | www.bbc.co.uk/reception and entering your postcode and selecting the appropriate options

Hi,
Can someone explain why I am picking up Central ITV and not West country or Meridian?
I live in Bridport.

Andrew McFarlane: In answer to your question:
1. for standard definition: because your receiver has tuned to a transmitter which broadcasts ITV Central.
2. for HD: because there are only a few ITV1HD regions and so transmitters in quite a few regions carry ITV1HD of another region.

Will Bridport be getting commercial DAB reception ? The postcode checker says I can only get BBC. Thanks.

J. Jackson: You will get a commercial local radio multiplex at some point in the next couple of years, but I'm not sure you will be getting the national commercial stations.
