After watching digital TV from about 9:40 till now, all TV reception has been lost. This is for digital and analogue through the loft aerial and normal loop aerials so it's certainly not my end! Has someone unplugged the Wrekin's mast again?

Can anyone shed any light on the situation?

Hmmmm strange. Also add that Radio Shropshire and Beacon FM (the locals) aren't working yet Radio 1, 2 etc are working as well as the Severn FM (which is also local!?).

OK, I know I sound like an anorak, but to update - ITV and Five have returned, as have all radio, but nothing else! Weird!

Yes - oddly my VMedia box just rebooted and the telly went to standby which was really odd (would just normally show a blue screen when the box is switched off). Five minutes later we had a 2 minute powercut. What's going on?

I'm in telford and in the town park there is a large cyclinder
A crowd has gathered on the park, hypnotized by the unscrewing of the cylinder. Two feet of shining screw projected when suddenly, the lid fell off.

Driving diesel trains for a living now so found it more appropriate driving

Plus some people got me confused with Richard Porter.
