Despite the internet reporting no problems on the Keswick transmitter, my neighbour and I are receiving NO SIGNAL at CA12 4JJ on 27-12-13 at 10:43am

A T Howard: This is incorrect. R&T Investigation, which reports issues with BBC transmitters, says Keswick from 08:29 this morning.
The ukfree.tv website gets updated at intervals because it must query R&T Investigation every so often - i.e. R&T Investigation does not supply the information, ukfree.tv has to query for it.

l speake: Keswick and Threlkeld are relays fed via Bassenthwaite. Bassenthwaite has no mains electricity, and it is not possible to access the site with a generator due to flooding.
The service will be restored as soon as its possible to restore the electricity supply
