Since May 2013 I have been experiencing intermittent interference on my Freeview. I live ib Brighton BN1 2FJ and I have a roof arial pointing to the Whitehawk transmitter. I contacted AT800 and two seperate engineers visited my house and both agreed my arial was perfectly OK and determined that 4G was not the problem. The initial problem only occurred on Channel 60, i.e the BBC channels. I decided to resolve the problem by buying an HD Freeview box. Initially this appeared to resolve the problem by watching the main channels on the HD channel. However, recently the problem has got worse and effects all channels intermittently. In the worse case scenario the SD channels have severe pixalation and the HD channels cannot detect a signal. When the interference occurs the signal strenght and quality are very low whereas without the interference the strength is around 72 and quality 100. One of my neighbours who uses Freeview with external arial is also having similar interference problems. It is very frustrating when you sit down to watch the last episode of a favourite series to find the recording totally unwatchable. All suggestions welcome.
