Ofcom moves to protect Freeview interference from 4G mobile dev

Hi
My TV lost all signal and channels last weekend at approx. 1am on the Saturday. Checked all the connections, aerial, changed the aerial, retuned but nothing worked. Then it came back on on its own at approx 5pm. Then again next day was not working came back on at approx same time. It worked fine all week and then Friday night 1am approx TV lost all its channels then without doing anything picked up signal again at aprrox 5pm. Then lost all channels/signal at 1 am - this is now second weekend in a row. Phoned up helpline and was told someone may have a device that is blocking signal (as live in four block of flats) and very close to transmitter (8km) but who turns on devices at 1am -5pm on weekends only??! Have had no problems with TV before since owned it, always had very clear picture and reception.
Any help would be much appreciated!

jb38 The TV is fed by a communal aerial, but i have tried an indoor aerial as well as trying different cables. I think it is the communal lighting though that may be affecting my signal as the bulbs were recently changed (around about the time my TV started playing up, going to ask them to have a look again at the lighting.
My TV does pick up some signal now with an indoor aerial booster - enough for an interrupted picture, so the signal is still there.
Learned my lesson first time from the retuning and have not done it since.
Thank you for your helpful suggestions
