Freeview is set to carry our engineering works in areas across North Wales this week which could affect TV reception with "screens going black on all channels" in some instances.
Six areas in North Wales will be affected by these Freeview works with disruptions set to begin on Monday (September 16).
The UK television platform said: "Sometimes engineering work is required on transmitters so that they can keep reliably broadcasting your favourite free-to-air programmes."
