Nelson outage

this morning ( Wed 8th) I can't get reception on UHF on 2 televisions , but satellite signal is normal on my 3rd TV. I guess there must be an outage? I'm in Nelson. Yes, I have checked my arial/ antennae

I forgot to mention, the 2 UHF TVs can get Maori channel and Te Reo channel. NO other channels are available ...

Mt Campbell transmitter is down after a power cut.

Hi, I think Kaka Hill is also down after the power outage. With only the Maori channels playing.

You would be right. Kaka hill is fed from Mt Campbell

Ahh ok, good to know. Any idea why the two Maori channels are playing? Cheers

No idea at this stage. I'm guessing the other channels failed to change over to back up power.

More than likely a power surge. Fried.
