Is anyone else having problem with BBC transmission right now?

Yes. Nick Robinson and Laura Kuennsberg. Oh, and Question Time.

Yes, with BBC4.  From suddenly a few weeks back the HD signal failed and has stayed failed ever since.  This happened for a period a few years back but recovered.  Can anyone explain this?  As far as I know there is no problem with my aerial.When it previously happened and I reset the channels and Beeb4 HD was no longer there.  But this time, following a reset, it’s there, listed, but simply doesn’t work.  Suggestions very welcome.

Thanks Carol, but the result I got was that the relevant transmitters had ‘no faults’.

There have been some changes at Crystal Palace transmitter which mean that a different aerial type can give improved reception in certain circumstances, particularly in relation to Freeview HD channels. I don't pretend to understand the full details but it might be worth reading through some of this.https://www.smartaerials.co.uk/blog/crystal-palace-freeview-tv-transmitter-all-you-need-to-know
