Was obviously only in the Eastern Counties but ITV1 went off air on analogue terrestrial, DTT and Cable during the first Coronation Street episode this evening. Analogue came back within around ten minutes but digital remained off air for around half an hour. All EPG data was missing so I assumed that it was a transmitter problem. No other channels were affected.
The STV announcer voiced over a transmitter slide just before Corrie tonight at 7.30 she said sorry to viewers served by such an such a transmitter (sorry can't remember which one) but it was only applicable to the STV area i do remember that and it was to analogue viewers .The announcement was very rushed and obviously it was not going out on Grampian then she picked up the ident swiftly going into Corrie which went out on Grampian at the same time.

Helps if you put your region information in your profile.
I did that years ago but it's obviously gone since for some reason.. Anyway, my region is within the first few words of my original post if that helps.
The EPG hasn't been working on DTT in the Anglia region for the Mux 2 channels (ITV1, ITV2, C4, ITV News) since Thursday evening. Until earlier this evening it was stuck on early Thursday evening but it's now showing no data at all (Sudbury transmitter). From posts on Digital Spy it seems this has been happening on all the DTT transmitters covering Anglia.

Its the Blackhill transmitter. Now usually I'm not one to give two hoots about transmitters, but this one rather squarely affects me. There was an apology and slide on Saturday or Sunday, and it hasn't got much better. On digital terrestrial, Scottish, Channel 4 and ITV2 have been a garbled mess.

Well no, not really. "Eastern Counties" and "ITV1" made me think it was Anglia, when it seems this thread is all about Scottish.
I'm pointing at Black Hill on DTT too. It's been perfect all evening.
The annoncer did say it was only analogue viewers that would be affected.
Someone needs to tell my Digibox then. Its unwatchable. Its making that awful clicking noise right now on 3, 4 and ITV2. Other channels are fine. How odd, especially when it began shortly before I heard the announcement a day or so ago. I don't remember them saying analogue or digital particularly, and you would have thought I would have. Or at least, *I* would have thought I'd have taken note.
But from what you say then it must be localised to my aerial. That wouldn't surprise me as it it seems to be hanging from a shoogly nail.
Perhaps some birds have broken a few spokes. They've bent a few on mine but the picture is still crystal.
Also, what kind of STB do you have?
Its a Nokia 9850 onDigital box. I can't say about broken spokes. Its a four storey building and I only wear my contact lenses on days I'm not looking up. Its a budget thing. I *can* tell you theres a mad woman who leaves broken up chocolate and bread out for the pigeons, so its possible there are dozens of them up there resting on it.
But I must get on. Anyway, Lee will be along in a minute to say this thread should be about somewhere else.
Apparantly some contractor accidently chopped through the fibre optic cable linking LNN to the BT Tower last night, hence the problem and frantic re-routing.
