Once again no TV reception at all (Bad or no signal) for three nights last week as located in a reception "dip". Had to watch TV on computer.

It is frustrating to note there are no apparent problems with the transmitter, when for three nights running recently I had no TV because of "no signal". Admittedly my house is located in a "dip" (along with the rest of most of a housing estate) but I pay my licence fee, and should not the signal be stronger.

For years I have had problems with days without television (in NR19 - mid Norfolk), usually accompanied by a message about "no or bad signal". It happened just after I paid my 155 for a new licence and I resolved I was not going to put up with the situation any longer. I contacted Freeview and after going through the usual re-tunings etc. they sent a couple of chaps from miles away in Northampton. They conducted signal testing and ascertained that a G4? mast about half a mile away was interfering with my TV signal. They fitted some gadget in the loft, tested the signal again (which had doubled in strength) and I haven't had any problems since. It was all free of charge. I wish I had insisted Freeview had done something about my poor signal years ago. My mother, in a different part of the country had a new aerial fitted free of charge. I gather quite a high proportion of people's TVs are affected by G4 phone mast signal interference and the huge amount of money the government made selling the bandwidths? compensates for anything they have to spend out rectifying the TV problems they have caused.

Once again (12th January 2017) a message, "no or weak signal". I've lived here nearly 20 years, (about 13 miles NW of Tacolneston) but only over the last year have experienced this problem, with increasing frequency. Why should I need to re-tune my TV seemingly every few days? It is an absolute pain, and a joke when there are supposedly no reported problems with the Tacolneston transmitter.
