Dave Lindsay: Indeed. The new 4G signals will effect television reception as much as the 2G signals they replaced. Ofcom | Notice of proposed variation of Everything Everywheres 1800 MHz spectrum licences to allow use of LTE and WiMAX technologies has the details.

Symon: As the goverment has not auctioned them off, there are not yet any 4G services in the "800MHz band".
The EE 4G services, which have not started in your area yet are in the 1800MHz band.

It seems quite likley your signal problems are local to you, and perhaps stop extrapolating to others.

Nelson Bowker: Please can you have a look at the Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice page?

Nick Anderson: The local TV services are carried on multiplexes which are to be broadcast on "interleaved frequencies".
These are gaps in the frequency plan that cannot be used for full services, but can be used for very reduced power, reduced coverage ones.
The areas can't be extended because they would cause interference in other parts of the digital TV network.
