Freeview intermittent interference | Freeview InterferenceThursday 15 December 2011 11:37AM

Kirsty - (see my post above 26th Nov) I can't say for certain at the moment but the signs are looking good, I read somewhere to try this and it seems to be working. I bought a roll of aluminium (cooking) foil and glued it to an opened out cardboard box and then used sheets of this underneath the aerial and to the side where we thought the interference was originating. So in effect screening underneath and the side, but not the direction of the signal. Sounds a bit Heath Robinson but does seem to have made a difference.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can offer a solution to this. Postcode CT13 0HX 9.5 miles from Dover transmitter. Perfect reception on freeview box 99% of time but severe break-up for 2 to 5 minutes at a similar time most evenings. Found that it coincides with next door neighbours going to bed! Although possibly a delicate subject we asked what they did. The only thing they thought might be causing it is that they power up their Mac and watch something (iPlayer?) As the interference only last a few minutes it would seem more likely to be the powering up than the actual running/router. The aeriel is in the loft. Is there any way to screen for this type of intereference? Thanks
