For those who don't know, ABC Tuggeranong Hill is off-air for unknown reasons.

The ABC Reception websites maintaince schedule hasn't been updated so there is no way of telling if this is a planned outage or not.

The translator has been off-air since last night (when The Bill was on).

Some background informaiton
The Tuggeranong Hill translator has kept going on and off due to various reason (some known (ie. scheduled outage) and some unknown (like the transmitter going off before the Bill on saturdays)).

For what periods of time are we talking about, I just checked and all is well, I was flicking through Sunday Arvo and ABC was working. I have had no complaints from customers concerning ABC drop outs.
Please lets me know when this next occurs, I will check it here.

I noticed that Black Mountain was also off air for a couple of minutes during the Bill on Sat night.  May have been a more widespread problem that Tugger Hill dodn't recover so quickly from.

I have just checked the signal at work and the power is down on ABC, I was unable to scan ABC on either a Strong or Humax STB, at home (Richardson) I am still getting ABC and have not notice any drop outs at all. I bet if I tried a rescan I'ld loose it.
Guess a phone call to ABC might shed some light, perhaps you might know someone.

Update.
Please be advised, those of you having trouble receiving ABC from Tugg Hill. At the latest check 5.05pm Tuesday 2/3/04, signal level is back to where it should be as is Pre BER & Viterbi. I would think all should be able to receive ABC again.
