Keith Farrington: Since it sounds exactly like single source interference, why would you reject that possibility?
In the meantime, at least check all your cables - if they are poorly shielded, etc, then that will make the problem much worse.

As a matter of interest, do you havce a 'smart meter' fitted? Some have been saying they are getting interference from the meter's WiFi system.

Thanks for that idea. I don't have a 'Smart Meter' fitted yet.

MikeB: I do think it is single source interference, which occurs regularly at the same time each day, but which is caused by something outside of my house. I will try different cables, to see if that improves matters.
But this is interference which began at the start of February (it did not occur beforehand). I have no idea how one would go about establishing the source of interference external to your own house.

Keith Farrington: If you have a look on the webpage for 'single source interference', someone had the idea of using an radio to track down the problem.
See if that can help, because if you at least know what direction the problem is, then you are closer to tracking it down. And if its external, at least you can ask neighbours, etc.

I noted they you said "I don't have a 'Smart Meter' fitted yet." Such meters are entirely optional and you do not have to allow one to be fitted. All they actually do is display what your energy usage is on the basis current consumption, daily consumption and monthly consumption. The separate display unit, connected via WiFi, shows these details. The meter does not and cannot reduce energy usage, only a change in the users pattern of consumption can do that, the display is intended to encourage such change.
Further, many current and older meters only work with one supplier, so if you change they stop working. Further, they can be controlled by your supplier who has the ability to manage network loading by temporarily disconnecting some users!
The one possible advantage is that your supplier will get regular 'readings' of your consumption. I prefer to retain control of our energy usage and provide my supplier with monthly readings using their web site. Easy, simple and you retain control. And safer as there are still questions about the security of the systems used for 'smart' meters.

As MikeB has suggested, if you are able to pick up the interference on a radio, that could help your track it down.
Considering the time of day that this is occurring, it might be some form of "central" heating coming on. I've put the "central" in quotes because it equally could be an electrical heating system not necessarily a boiler powered system. The other possibility at that time of day might be some timer-controlled lighting designed to give a "welcome" home or even an "occupied house" impression to deter possible burglars etc. Obviously it depends on the type of lighting whether it will generate interference, but a failing connection on a circuit could equally be culpable.
Asking neighbours if they are experiencing problems can also help to maybe track it down, but if they aren't home at the time this occurs they may not notice a problem that might be happening with some of their own equipment, so it's also worth asking if anyone has had any heating/lighting repairs or changes or breakdowns at around the time this first started.
Hope the suggestions are of some help.

Chris.SE and others.
I haven't posted for a while as I have a) been on holiday and b) more or less given up on the previously reported issue. I have asked several neighbours about their experience but they are all on cable or satellite.
I was hoping the problem might have stopped at the start of March. It hasn't. Yesterday, I decided to count the number of 'no signal' messages displayed on the TV between 16:00 and 18:00 in 10 minute periods:
16:00-16:10 = 0; 16:10-16:20 = 0; 16:20-16:30 = 0; 16:30-1640 = 28; 16:40-16:50 = 25;
1650-17:00 = 37; 17:00-17:10 = 28; 17:10-1720 = 28; 17:20-17:30 = 33; 17:30-17-40 = 0;
17:40-17:50=1; 17:50-18:00 = 0
Completely exasperated. And with no idea who to complain to. I've got to the point where I have accepted I will no longer be able to watch 'final score' on Saturday afternoons, or watch the six nations rugby and other sporting events at the weekend, or snooker during the week. I've just tried to watch the women's boat race - impossible!

Keith Farrington: As we said before, and you've admitted, its almost certainly single source interference.
You know the times its occuring, so then you need to find out where the problem is coming from.
If you search this site, particularly on the single source page, you will find some advice about using a portable radio to track down the source.
At the same time, check the system for loose connections, etc, and perhaps update the fly lead to one with better sheilding - yout getting no signal, and that sounds like a problem with the system generally - the interference might be just tipping it.

I suspect that this question has already been answered, but I can't find it - what happens with Com 7 & 8 and local on Hannington after 30th June 2018
