Thx guys, signals from my LG tv that has signal test, shows anything from 50% to 75% on all 6 Main transmitter channels, all the booster box says is, it filters 3G/4G and 5G/LTE, and works 88-694MHz from Argos One for All, i got the booster at the end of the aerial cable, then tv aerial into one of the 4 inputs, aerial has the main input, when i tried test signal with no booster, the strengths were all the same as with booster, its a 23 dB booster as well, regarding Transmitter, all aerials around my road seem to be pointing 50 degrees on my compass, well there are 2 outer circles on compass, 1 to 64, thats where i get the 50 from, and a inner circle 0 to 360, thats pointing 282.

Oh, close neighbours i know have cable, i have asked them before, whats a pain is, last few hours all channels been fine, but then tomorrow could all be bad, and what i dont understand is, why only the batch of freeview channels on C48 (690.0MHz) give me a problem, all other channels fine, there all on the same transmitter, so i would think they either all breakup or there all good, thx

Some times we can go days without a problem, then some days its breaking up all day, there is no pattern to it.

Aerial brand new the last week, 49 element horizontal, loft, has a great picture when working, just C48 freeview channels are effected, if it was mobile signal interference, would it not be all the time ?

Only thing i have in same room as my tv and booster, is a FM aerial that i use to use with my 30 year old separate Yamaha tuner, but its all disconnected, and has been in same place for last 30 years, and i have only had this problem last few years or more, i don't think its neighbours, but you never know, have had bad interference the last few nights at like 1am thou, until the morning 9am, anyway thx for all help, i don't want to pester you anymore, its the weekend after all, i will try a few things over the weekend, thx again guys.
