Does anyone know if there's a problem with the Blackhill Transmitter? It seems that both Scottish TV and Channel 4 have gone off air. It seems to be fine on DSAT though.

Given the weather here a few hours ago which would have headed eastwards, I'd suggest it's probably been hit by lightning or the power supply has gone down.

Off-air or showing the apology caption?

Off air completely - just white noise on screen.

Seems to be normal now.

There was an apology at the end of Millionaire, and they said "nice to have you back with us".
