“The Mendip Transmitters outage issue have been rectified and all BBC reception are currently back to normal.
There have been reception issues for the ITV Channels for over a Week ( "no reception on other channels either" ) are not the fault of the Broadcasters. The lack of reception of ITV Channels in the Bath area are mainly due to SOMER Housing Community Trusts inadequate TV Reception System.”
