Trouble in t'Republic? (Bilsdale transmitter fire)

"A small number of households may temporarily lose HD services for a few weeks until additional antenna are installed. Viewers should note that these HD channels will be available to watch in Standard Definition."

They can't even seemingly turn it on without downtime of weeks for some... No wonder the BBC is sueing them.

Today new mast:

The aerial is a Group A which explains signal drop off in the higher frequencies.
 
BBC B ch21 is lower relative to the other PSB muxes this afternoon :-confused

PS changing to ZIF mode got rid of the steps before each mux, the spike after each one is a clock spur.
 
Cripes. I have now got stuff from Bilsdale for the first time, like, eveeeerrr
 
Only seeing Bilsdale and Pontop Pike frequencies on the spectrum today so I guess all the temporary relays have been switched off. BBC B with the HD channels has seemingly reverted to being transmitted from the shorter temporary tower. With the relays being switched off it'd explain the statement about some people losing HD channels.
 
They are a bit down on the SD variants - but can't be that weak as I am receiving them by reflection off a nearby hill, as I do not have line of sight due to being in a village on the western slopes of the Moors.
 
Bump ......

Just been walking on t'Moors and the temporary mast(s) have disappeared since we were last up there a few weeks ago.

The new mast now stands, once more, in splendid isolation.
