This may help a bit:
Post code is BD16 1UH
Water - central heating which is always on
DEC - we do use a number of wireless phones through the house and have for many years. The nearest unit is about 20 ft away (living on its battery) and the main phone power supply is two rooms away from the TV
We don't use a digibox, the TV (Toshiba) has its own inbuilt freeview . The signal is run from an external multi-feed aerial direct to the TV via plug in connector.
We have no other kit connected to or near the TV since we use it the kitchen.
We had no problem for several years and then this all started
Maybe I need a new TV ?? :-(

Thanks
I suspect it is not mains driven since it is occasional, sporadic, and mainly at week ends or the evening. If mains induced I would have expected it to happen soon after switch on and regularly. Nevertheless, will check because anything will help.

We have had continual regular interference on freeview. Key factors -
- Always - a strip from top to bottom of the screen about 20% of the screen width - where there is continuous pixel activity blocking out the image. The rest of the screen is fine and shows image. However sometimes the band broadens to up to 40% of the screen.
- During interference it can sometimes stop for a minute or two and then restarts
- usually happens at weekends after mid morning
- or mid to late evening on any day
- TV can run fine for an hour or more and then the interference starts.
- some days we have no problem
There is no mobile phone or other home based signal that could cause this as far as I can determine since our house is about 150 - 200 yards from any other home and I have shut down internet and mobile phones to try to isolate the cause.
I must suspect possible transmission interference from outbound signals - it is almost like "radio ham" interference of old.
Any suggestions?
