A fire has started at the Beckley aerial, which has left thousands of homes without a TV signal.

TV viewers in Oxfordshire have lost all signals to their sets because of a problem with the digital switchover.

The problems are believed to have started about 40 minutes ago as engineers completed work on the Beckley mast, which covers 410,000 homes.

A spokesman for Digital UK said he believed all homes within the transmission area are being affected, but could not yet say when it would be fixed.

The fire service is still at the scene.
