Also of interest is the fact that a 4G handset could cause interference, what were the powers that be thinking when this was all put forward???????????

When 4G goes live in the 800 band I have decided that if there are any problems my aerial is coming down. I will rely totally on Sky and Freesat from Sky. Terrestrial TV has been penny pinched and squeezed to death in my opinion. Murdock and Branson must be laughing all the way to the bank.

At the moment My signal is 100% on all channels and has been for years. There isn't much point in tuning in to Sutton coalfield as that has coverage for the west Midlands and I live in the east Midlands.

The majority of aerials in East Hinckley point to Waltham, in West Hinckley its about 50/50. The predictor on this site shows Hinckley as strong reception from Waltham. I have had many an argument with the so called professionals trying to tell me that I cant get Waltham, 1 even told me I wasn't receiving Waltham even though I was. As I said there is no point in anyone watching TV from the wrong transmitter even if it is the nearest if they want a news program that covers there area. Another reason satellite is a better option, you can choose any region you want.

Never blown the map up before, very interesting because some of the streets in the dead spot have aerials pointing at Waltham.

This is very true, I remember my mother telling me once that they had to have an outside aerial whilst the neighbour only needed an indoor.

KMJ, never have a problem with satellite, even in the snow, my freeview is OK most of the time but not as reliable as analogue ever was.

"Because cable and satellite users will not be affected by 4G interference, assistance will only be provided to households relying on Freeview as their primary TV service. This means up to 900,000 households will be entitled to free help to solve the interference. Any households receiving cable or satellite will not be eligible for free help."
Great, so if you have freevie and sky, it's tough you have to pay. Another con.
