Thread: Damned digital television

I would be very surprised if 4g affected your digital TV , spectrum management is very good. If you have an outside aerial I would be looking for a bad join, connector. In fact any connector including wall plate could be corroded.

I am not the only one around here that has been affected.
I dont know if its 4G or what is going on but I found this info below this morning when I was googlig and looking for answers.
I will just have to wait and see what develops.
I will get the POO's if it means it is going to cost us money to fix it.

As the kid said "Lifes a bugger ".

Before analogue TV ended we used to get very poor reception on most channels and virtually none on digital. After a good walk around the house and looking on a map at the direction of the nearest transmitter I put up an entirely new antenna 8 metres away from the old one. The new one "looks" at the tower through a gap between the trees that surround our house. Reception on every digital channel has been perfect ever since.

Get yourself some professional antenna advice, you'll not regret it.

Funny you should say that, ours lost all channels until I did a re tune, there was talk about there was some change to the system and you had to re tune, different areas had different dates.My mums also is getting pixalated but on windy days. A mate has never had good reception since he bought a digital tv, his aerial was installed professionally and the best signal was determined.

Townsville had a change of frequency a few months ago.

Will.

I think the digital switch is crap. Every time something gets turned on 'crack', choppers fly over.... Picture broken, Electric fencer up the road... All channels corrupted on damp nights.. Really average IMO.

Didn't know you lived in the greater London area?
Have you tried a quad shielded fly lead from the wall to the telly?

we had issues with a lot of our channels untill we had our TV antenna on the roof changed for a quality digital antenna..

Made a massive difference to the point where we pick up all the channels in 3s so we get for example channel 7, channel 7 wollongong and 7 newcastle!!!

its actually quite annoying

I second the whole get your antennas and wires and everything checked...
