Maybe Nationwide.

 

Severe pixelisation, all channels, so suspect a link problem.

 

Confirmed it is like this multiple properties ex Sugarloaf.

 

FreeView show NO problems on their Status page!

My first ever AM radio network connection was with a 1MHz AM crystal(OA91) radio receiver.

Also occurred for us. None of the television transmission towers are manned these days, are they?

Nope dont believe so, not like the old days when I was there and the old Marconi BD371's need nearly hourly tendering.

I transferred to Christchurch just as they de-manned Sugarloaf in January 1983! I was a trainee Radio Technician with the BCNZ then.

It was "fixed" just after 1820hrs.

 

Thought I had better post a "It's not just me" message when I confirmed it was widespread.

I'm mildly amazed by the number of people who watch broadcast tv still.. 




I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup. Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.
