Has the Mighty Mendip Transmitter been hit by lightning?

I've just lost BBC 1 and 2 (digital signal) but BBC3 and 4 work....

Dunno, but according to http://www.isleofwightweather.co.uk/live_storm_dat... there is a cracking storm in that area. Has to be the biggest ligtning conductor for miles, so quite likely I guess.

thanks for that - I can see the transmitter from my house -about 6 miles away - it is pretty tall.

I'm quite pleased to be missing Famous, Rich and Homeless TBH but I was disappointed to miss the end of Today at Wimbledon.

BBC 1 and 2 still down...

Digital TV the way forward? My arse!

Missed all the BBC2 stuff I had set the box to record.

Terrestrial works on my portable tho...

Ha! Think yourselves lucky! I was out all night in Taunton working in the thunder & lightning/monsoon-like rain conditions! No fun whatsoever!
