| One resident, who lives near Arbroath Road, was informed by a member of staff at BBC’s headquarters in Glasgow today there was not a problem with the transmitter that serves the DD4 area and that the interference was probably due to “atmospherics”.
However, the man argued his other analogue channels seem perfectly fine, and was left scratching his head as to how the weather could cause a problem for almost three days.
A number of residents who live in the DD4 area of the city say their BBC 1 signals have been poor over the last few days. Watchers missed sports coverage and also shows such as Strictly Come Dancing.
One man, who lives in Baxter Park Terrace, explained, “My signal started to fail on Saturday afternoon when I was watching the rugby. I’m still getting a fuzzy picture at best. I don’t have a digital box because our transmitter isn’t issuing a signal yet.”
The man added his elderly mother, who lives in King Street, was getting a picture that seems to come and go.
A spokeswoman for the BBC in Scotland said there was not a transmitter problem, but she was unable to shed any more light on the cause of the interference.
Around 35,000 households cannot receive full digital signals from the transmitter at Tealing and rely on the Tay Bridge transmitter for their service. The bridge transmitter has not yet been converted to digital. |
