I turned on my Freeview box this evening and I have no output from BBC1, 2, or 3. Only BBC Four works.

Anyone advise me on the cause? I'm in Kent - covered in snow! lol

Lol, apparently the local BBC Kent area has issued that statement that not all channels will be viewable

(PS: It was said on BBC1

)

Was local radio working, out of curiosity ?

All channels have returned now. Unsure about BBC Radio Kent. Think it was unaffected.

Well, BBC4 and BBCi are on a different mux to the other BBC channels, so they should launch. Some BBC Radio stations are on Mux A too with Five etc.

That's quite a coincidence that. A year ago today, TV reception from Emley Moor was cut off after the mast was struck by lightening.

In that one person lost reception on one Mux for a couple of hours?
