Benjafield: Just out of curiosity I wondered in what context the satellite receiver being mentioned comes into the equation? or are you just meaning that you use a satellite receiver as a back up? I only mention this as the current wave of high pressure that is responsible for reception problems across large areas of the UK does not really affect microwave satellite reception.

Greg Jones: At some point after the power is resorted to the site, I should imagine.

Go to Power Cuts

Enter the postcode HD7 5XA, which is that of the transmitting station. CCC

Jen yates:

Whether you are receiving your signals from the Cop Hill Relay transmitter or the Emley Moor main transmitter, neither Freeview nor the BBC are currently reporting any faults and the transmitters aren't listed for Planned Engineering.
It's possible it could be some of the variable intermittent "Troposheric Ducting" that is around at present that's been quite strong in some parts of the country causing interference from distant transmitters.
(See https://www.bbc.co.uk/rec….jpg ).
It's never a good idea to retune when you have no signal as all that usually does is to clear the correct tuning, and you'll need to retune again when conditions stabilise (you might need to try more than once!).

The Cop Hill relay transmitter is currently listed for Planned Engineering with "Possible service interruptions".

I'm assuming that at the time of my reply, your signals have probably returned. If you need more help, post back.
