Have been experiencing infuriating interference on Freeview in the past few days and particularly today (2.7.14). Constant break up of video and audio signalsand loud noises from set.s Problem present on all three sets in the house. Could it be due to engineering works or transmission problems. Have re-set all three sets several times to no avail. Advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks Jamiie - I did include the postcode in the 'details' forming part of my question but it did not appear in the 'post'. It is B45 but as far as I can there are no engineering works taking place at any of the related transmitters.

Philip C: Thanks for the responses to my original enquiry (2.7.14). My immediate neighbours all use Sky and have no reception problems. I decided to call in an aerial engineer but the problem disappeared (for 48 hours or so) and I stood him down. Then it returned during the Men's Singles Final (during a heavy rain storm in the West Midlands) and has been intermittent since then. Am beginning to think that it is due to atmospherics though it is strange that it has only manifested itself some two years afterf switchover. Two of our sets have FreeView built in and one has a digital box - but the problem generally occurs on all three at the same time - again pointing towards atmospherics.
