Michael:

Whilst the transmitter is currently listed for Planned Engineering, there has also been an outage due to a fault.
The BBC have reported fault details on their individual transmitter page, they have not (yet?) added it to a page which is an engineering list of Freeview faults which is where the updates to this site come from.

From 4:51:12pm to 10:10:32pm on 29th Nov 2021 BBC A / BBC B HD Off the air due to a fault

Hopeful;ly your signals are now restored.
