Transmission from the Peebles transmitter failed at about 8.50 pm this evening. There is no reception on Freeview or VHF radio.

I cannot find anywhere else to report this.

James Murdoch: Cuased by a power supply outage maybe?

Unfortunately, Scottish Power Energy Networks doesn't have a postcode checker for issues on the network.

I have several TV sets and, of course, they all show the No Signal message. On one set, a message gives a helpline no. 0800 952 0101 which turns out to be Asda's no.!!!

However, my iPhone also has a No Signal status, is this normal given the Peebles transmitter situation?
