Wayne collard & derek: There was engineering work taking place overnight which was completed by 6am. Given that this was planned work accompanied by onscreen warnings, your remarks both seem a little excessive.

StevensOnln1: Any idea when the very informative website will update the new multiplex frequencies and channels for Craigkelly

Gordon: Updating this website is down to the owner (Briantist) who unfortunately doesn't seem to have been able to keep track of the many recent changes across the transmitter network. Putting your postcode into the Digital UK coverage checker and ticking the detailed view box will give you all of the current and planned future frequency changes affecting your area.
