Is the transmitter output the same in all directions?

Andrew : Each DAB multiplex operates as a "single frequency network". This means that all transmitters broadcast on the same frequency and in time with one another. This means they complement each other as far as strength at any one place goes. Evidently you are picking up a faint signal from one or more other transmitters.

All I can say is thankfully they didn't switch off FM at the change over. Can get all I need on FM, but that's not what I bought several DAB radios for!

My DAB radios have all been off since this morning - and are still not receiving. That's 3 different radios. Glad to hear it's not just me but does anyone know when it's coming back?! Thank heavens for FM!

In a previous post Braintist states that "radio and television service says newhaven no reported problems" how does one report a problem and to whom?

DAB radio problems from Newhaven.
DAB IS broadcasting.
All BBC station show signal strength as 33
But no content. It is as if someone has turned off the BBC feed to transmitter, so it will show 'no problem' as it is broadcasting OK. Just broadcasting silence. I did manage to get Classic FM on DAB. Other commercial stains would not tune in for some reason.
So as Andrew has asked, how do we report this? Direct to the BBC?

NO BBC DAB reception here in Peacehaven since early morning Wednesday, although all other stations working normally. Other than here, I can't find anywhere to get more information.
