Why does that not surprise me - t'people of t'republic are always "revolting"!:-rofl2
 
Ohh Ohh some jr. engineer didnt check the coolant levels on the klystron tubes.
 
e correto.

Thankfully, I only use DTT when storms disrupt Satellite reception.
 
They’re bringing in a temporary mast and equipment to restore service apparently.

With it being shorter, some relays may not be able to receive the signal from it to rebroadcast. Including Whitby - which has apparently been switched to take the BBC Satback service off 27.5°W as a back-up!

Temporary mast on its way to Bilsdale - RXTV

A temporary transmitter and mast is on its way to Bilsdale, North Yorkshire, in order to restore TV, radio and mobile services in the area.

ITV Tyne Tees News reporting the fire started in a building, and spoke to a local who said his mother heard an explosion - may add some credence to lightning strike theory?

Everything is still off air at the moment.
 
When I was but a lad (when we had horse drawn buses) and an apprentice TV engineer based in Stockton on Tees, I remember Bilsdale coming into service. You could get a great signal from a loop of coax!!

Other reports say there was no lightning in the area (my area!) and I never saw nor heard nuffin!
 
An item on BBC radio news this morning mentioned an engineer was preparing equipment for 5G services at the time of the fire. Mysteriously, I've seen or heard nothing since of similar reports.
