Mary Gavin: When the work is finished, which is usually by the end of the day. They never say how long engineering work will take as there can be numerous delays caused by weather conditions, damage to equipment, the state of the transmitter mast, etc. Do not attempt to retune whilst the work is in progress.

Catherine Cramb:
The BBC are reporting a fault.
Whilst the BBC have reported fault details on their individual transmitter page, they have NOT (yet?) added it to a page which is an engineering list of Freeview faults which is where the updates to this site come from.
From 5:29:19pm on 26th Nov 2021 BBC A / BBCB HD Off the air due to a fault
No doubt due to a power outage as a result of the abysmal weather. I can't find any further updates at this time.
Statement from BBC Engineering -
Interruptions to television and radio services due to Storm Arwen
High winds and rain are causing problems with electricity supplies to several transmitters across the UK. Regional electricity suppliers are working hard to restore services. You can check the status of your local transmitter using our transmitter checker tool.
While you're waiting you could try BBC iPlayer or BBC Sounds to carry on watching or listening to your favourite programmes. They are both available on Smart televisions and many other internet connected devices.
Keep up with the latest weather in your area.
