Storm disruptions in Sydney?

[Me]

Anyone else experience disruptions to the digital service in Sydney with
these thunder storms in Sydney? I was receiving perfectly last night,
however turned the TV on about 11am and ever since, have been unable to
receive Sydney channels.

Tuned it to Wollongong and receive them @ 100%.

I'm at Gosford on the Central Coast of NSW, and at 9:45 to 9:50 this
morning, couldn't get anything from either my Teac STB, nor the
standard/stand-alone analogue TV reception... (Not that Bert was
*that* interesting :)...) We've had rolling storms all day...

I'm a novice, so besides a nuclear holocaust (well apparently, from
watching Hollywood movies), can anything else such as storms cause
*all* television reception to cease? Thanks- be interested to know...

Fine here, maybe check your Sydney antenna...

Working fine here (inner west).

Thanks for all the replies. Appreciate it.

Tim, I'm a novice also, so I wouldn't have a clue about what interferes and
what doesn't. Good question. Hope to see an answer.

Actually, it's been a strange day. Not receiving Sydney digital, my emails
are being delayed by around 3 hours, my home phone line shit itself for
about 6 hours, my fuel gauge on our new car stopped working, SMS's from my
wife have been showing up under a different number, and we both received
cryptic SMS's from an unknown person.

Just waiting for Arnie to appear in my living room from the future!!!

Hmmm, do you live near Lucas Height?

[Me]

LOL. No. South Western Sydney which is just as contaminated.
