Last night a couple of times and only for a few seconds, less than a minute
certainly, all the channels went off air then came back. Just enough time to
hear, there is no signal check aerial, get out of chair, almost get to set
top boxand on it comes again. Obviously I cannot say this was on every
channel as it onely did it twice but certainly all those I tried the second
time were off.
No problem my end waggled everything afterwards to see if I had a dogy
connection and the aerial is in the loft.
maybe it was the aliens. Anyone else notice?

There were a couple of power blips here - not enough to upset the
computer, but the radio went off for a few seconds, and I use a FreeView
tuner for that. I assumed it was the tuner, but it could have been the
transmitter.

Crystal P has had lots of brief switching breaks on DTT and analogue recently,
DSO prep work most probably.

Not last night but it's been happening every now and again for sometime. I
suddenly get "No Signal" and then the channel comes back a second or so
afterwards. On my Humax PVR, it means that sometimes I try to watch a
recording and get a warning message about a failure to record. I think this
is basically saying "we lost the signal at some point"; to date I've not
found that any such recording were actually not watchable.
