Wivenhoe Park will be OFF-AIR from midnight. It is expected to be up-and-running again by mid-afternoon (the advice to installers says 12 noon). Ensure that the transmitter is fully running again before tuning in your digital box.
You can find progress reports at Digital UK - Relay transmitter switching times .
