How much downtime is typical for Millom Park over a week / month / year?
I used to point there in pre-digital days but occasionally it was down for a day or more due to the power supply
I may have to move back from Winter Hill to Millom Park because of new building on the near line-of-sight.
I live on Walney Island and I am about 8.5 miles from Millom Park
Are things better now?

Barry Wicks: No transmitter should have any downtime, the problems are caused by unplanned and unexpected faults that cannot be easily resolved.

E Hardy: With your aerial pointing to Millom Park you can expect to receive the full complement of Freeview channels sometime never.
I had a look on StreetView and some houses have Winter Hill-facing aerials which might be an indicator that you may be able to do the same and hopefully receive all channels. The difficulty comes from the fact that the higher ground on which the town sits is in your way.
For this reason, if you do have a Winter Hill aerial installed then I suggest you retain the Millom Park one that is, due to being able to see Winter Hill you may find reception isn't perfect.

I rely on the Millom Park light Freeview transmitter.
For much of Saturday 26 March I could receive no signals from BBC channels.
ITV channels were behaving normally.
I can find no mention of this extended outage on the internet.
Can you supply the reason please?
