This weeks planned TV Aerial engineering works for Digital Switchover Week Commencing 29/04/2013
Engineering works on over 80 different TV Transmitters throughout the country this week – looks like this ones a bumper issue……
Digital Switchover is now completed for the whole of the UK and Northern Ireland! However there are still some engineering works ongoing that may affect the signal you receive from your TV Aerial. Most of these planned engineering works will take place in the early hours of the morning to avoid any unnecessary interruptions to your TV viewing. In some cases there will be times when this maintenance work does carry on until the day time, and other cases where unplanned engineering works need to be carried out immediately to fix new issues. The Arqiva engineers work as quick and hard as they possibly can to make sure interruptions to your TV viewing are kept to a minimum.
Below is a list of this week’s planned TV Aerial Transmitter engineering works. Check to see if you might be affected by any of the planned works. If you find that you are in an area where planned works are to be carried out that week, bear in mind that any late night/early morning planned recordings that you might have may fail to record properly! Likewise If you find you are having reception issues it might be worth while checking for this week’s unplanned engineering works list (updated at the top of this list when any data becomes available).
Please note this is not an exhaustive list, there may be interruptions and transmitter works caused by factors other than digital switchover. If you are having problems with your TV signal please also check with the BBCs website – see bottom of post….
