Ref my comment Sat 18 May, I have now discovered that it seems to be our DECT phones which cause the very bad interference on all freeview channels when they are in use. Is there a filter that we can use to stop this?

Hi jb38,
I seem to have solved the interference just by moving the DECT base station about a metre away from the TV. It seems like it is the base station itself which was causing the problem.
The base station was sitting right in front of the TV and the BT socket for our landline is behind the TV so yes, the coax runs near the cable to the landline socket.
The interference only happened once you dialed a number.

Hi JB38,
Our phones (Siemens C595:http://gigaset.com/hq/en/product/GIGASETC595.html) don't radiate much when not in use - we use their "ECO mode plus" setting which substantially reduces this (reducing energy consumption and household EMR). When a call comes in, the base station starts radiating a signal first and the other handsets start ringing a second or two later. We're going to move the base station to another room though to ensure it's not interfering any more with the TV.

We live in Worthing (BN11) and in the last couple of weeks have found that we have bad interference (very blocky pixellation and digitally distorted sound) on ALL freeview channels.
Previously we've had occasional problems (which I believe are weather related), but this now seems to be continuous.
We have a roof mounted digital aerial correctly aligned to receive from the Isle of Wight transmitter and only one TV in the house.
I have tried connecting in a booster to the signal, but even when the TV's menu system is telling us that signal quality and strength are both 10/10, we still have interference.
Is it possible that the TV itself has a problem? It is a 5 year old Panasonic TX26LXD600. (BN11 an)
