Loads of people have been experiencing problems. It's not the transmitter, as they're operating normally. Instead it's the current atmospheric conditions, which are permitting interfering signals from continental Europe to reach East Anglia.

I was driving into Ipswich yesterday evening, while listening to Classic FM on the car radio. The station suddenly disappeared under interference from a Dutch-speaking station. It's the same problem that's been affecting terrestrial TV signals lately.

Such problems are fairly unusual in the winter months; they happen far more often during the summer. However they can occur at any time of the year.

Ours is OK up here in Norfolk, but I was driving in North Kent and Essex at the weekend and couldn't receive anything sensible on the radio at all. Lots of crackling and cross channel interference, and not until I reached North Suffolk did a couple of stations become clear. I guess its linked to the TV issue and am interested to read the report in the EADT link.

Yes, lost our HD channels for a while this morning. Had to slum it on standard definition.
