Below are all of Mikescki's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Sorry to be a bit argumentative but I read it as "No problems".
If this is the way "forward" then I don't see it as very satisfactory.
We loose Analgue in a few weeks time - so we are told - and then have no back-up when the Digital goes missing.
However, my main point is that the top of the information page says - "No Current Reported Problems" - when it is quite clear that they are off air and had been for many hours! This banner headline should be linked to reality.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for fixing the banner.
Maybe by the end of the week the eng work will all be sorted.
I can see that the switch date on this site says March 2012. That is different from the various ads around the Worthing area which are saying October 2011 -- hence my confusion. Perhaps it is another transmitter which is going.
Also, my apologies for not running the text through spellchecker ...

Hi Brian,
Next time I am there I will try and photograph one. I do remember that it has the little robot character on it.

Hi there,
After the storm last week we have lost most of our freeview channels.
Those that are still there are down to 8 - 12% which is obviously not good.
There is still analogue service (Whitehawk).
My first thought is that the digital box took a jolt.
Have you heard of this happening?
The Virgin Cable guy said that he'd had to replace a couple of their V Boxes in the area for the same reason.
Regards,
Mike

Hi there,
Are there any changes expected for the Whitehawk transmitter this year (2020) ?
The list seems to have stopped at October 2019.
Rgds,

The alternative is to be signed up to a "Pay for" cable service.
Once cannot but wonder if that is the real reason for the broadcast being turned off.
How many "Brown envelopes" have passed hands ??
If the Broadcast is turned off then it should be the end of TV Licences as there will be no "Broadcast" to be watching.
They can't have it both ways - well, at least they should not be able to do so.

Hi there,
How often should we re-cycle our TV receivers to make sure we have all the correct stations?
Bets regards,
Mike

The BBC Channels were off air this morning and again when we came home this evening.
The Website says nothing wrong.
Come on someone take responsibility !!
