I cant recall ever not being able to watch TV due to a transmitter fault.

There have, however, been times over the years when my Sky has failed (lost signal) due to really heavy rain [only for a few minutes].

Sky Sports has a very bad fault on Tuesday night with a EFL game - even Virgin has poor Picture.

It was that bad Sky has to move game to a other channel.

I guess it depends on where you are in the country, but was quite common for me. And yes, as for the dish and rain... that was a primary reason I got cable tv in 1991 and had it continually until last year.

I have vague memories of the odd transmitter fault. I wonder if it was during the time of transfer from VHF to UHF? I'm too old to remember back that far!:D

I also remember the potters wheel waiting for "Watch with Mother" to start!!!!!

BTW. She never did, always too busy.

You yourself a mere 15 months ago were waxing lyrical about their position in the future over tired, boring, linear channels.
