Sallyam: I'd follow up on JB38's advice about what behind/through the wall. By the sound of it, your sounding like you've got 'single source interference' (there is a whole section on this website about it). Its usually caused by something like a dodgy thermostat etc sending out electrical interference. Since yours is from 6am to 10am, thats sounds like an immersion heater, etc.
Why its only hitting one TV, goodness knows. Did you swap over the aerial lead as well when you moved the TV's around to test them? If you just unplugged the aerial lead and the main TV, and put it into another room, and did the same with the bedroom TV, that points to the aerial lead having a problem. When it comes to interference, you can track it down (JB38 has a great trickwhich he can explain), and hopefully stop it. The other thing you can also go is to guard against it by improving cables, etc.
Most aerial leads 'come in the box', which means they are bit thin and dont have much in the way of shielding. If you have a dodgy lead (or one which isn't really helping), try swapping over the cables. or you can buy another one - something like one of these would be fine - Online Satellite/TV/FM/DAB Cable, Leads and Connectors sales. - the RG6 one for 4 pounds plus VAT and postage sounds like a good deal.
You dont have to spend that much, but if you can track down what the problem is, your one step closer to solving it.

Sallyam : Another couple of things to try. If the picture on main TV is once again found to be pixelated when its returned to the living room, even although it was OK in the bedroom, switch the BT vision box off completely (from mains) rather than just bypassing it.
If this makes no difference, the next thing to try is moving the TV as far away from the wall as the jumper lead will allow, this being especially important if the wall is dividing two separate households, as the problem you are experiencing "might" possibly be caused by interference picked up via direct injection into your TV (i.e: not aerial, but via rear casing) from some electronic device located nearby, and nearby can mean through a wall.
The reason for suggesting the aforementioned being the fact of the bedroom TV being OK in the living room.

MikeB : Just noticed that you had also replied to Sallyam.
Yes, this problem is reminiscent of another of a very similar nature from well over a year ago, the reason for the problem in that case subsequently found to be caused by a defective Virgin Media cable box belonging to the neighbour on the other side of the dividing wall.

jb38: many thanks for your ideas,. The wall backs onto a cupboard, and there are no near neighbours. The TV was pixelating badly when we swapped them over and we had totally disconnected the BT vision box to rule that out.There isn't thing on ether at that time of the day, just the TV. What we find strange is that it corrects itself about the same time everyday. It is all very odd!

MikeB: Thank you for you ideas, we will look,at improving the cable as we didn't swap aerial leads used original aerial lead for the different TV's.

Sallyam: Sorry for going on about this, but does "totally disconnected the BT vision box" mean that you disconnected it from the mains? as the test is not valid unless you did.
The reason for requesting that you move the main TV back into the living room "after" having tested it out in the bedroom (and found it OK), is basically because I wanted to eliminate the possibility of the pixelation problem being caused by a fault having developed within the actual TV, but which can be, or is, rectified by switching the set off and then on again (rebooting!), and with this possibly being the reason why the main set apparently works OK in the bedroom.
Of course, the easy way to find out if the aforementioned (rebooting) is applicable or not, is by temporarily moving the main TV into the bedroom ready for switching on in the morning. Although this theory can easily be tested out without moving the living room TV, i.e: simply by switching it completely off (from mains) as soon as the pixelation starts, followed by switching it back on again after a minute or so.
By the way, do you have access to a small portable radio capable of receiving medium and long wave radio transmissions? e.g: Radio 4 LW

Strangely, I just noticed BBC--London had two spaces in it a couple of days ago.
Looking back, it had been like that since my records began in 2008!
Note: I am using -- to represent two spaces because excess spaces are stripped from messages posted on ukfree.tv

js: But it's "BBCRadioLondon" on Freeview now! I'm sticking with *MY* rules that make it "BBC Radio London" on here - mainly because it's never the same on Freeview, Freesat, Sky, FM/RFS and DAB.
