Firstly, many, many thanks to ukfree.tv and its posters for alerting me to this interference issue. I spent ages trying to work out what was wrong with our TV and was on the verge of buying a new one! Then I found these posts. I duly contacted Restore TV and they confirmed that there had been 'changes' at a local mobile phone mast. They sent me a CH48 filter and all is well again. My neighbour was having similar issues so he went through the same process and his loss of channels / pixelation impacting CH43 and CH46 stations has been fixed too. We both have rather elderly TV distribution amps - the modern ones have filters built-in which may explain why other folk had no problems. We live in the WD5 postcode area, so it's not just impacting HP3.
