I have just returned from 5 months overseas, and I retuned a TV to the Freeview digital signal without any problem. It is a TV I only watch in the evenings, and I am finding that after 2130 approx, I am getting momentary picture freezing and occasional interference with sound. This appears to right itself after about an hour. Can you advise? My postcode is DL11 6HN

Pauline Colman: This sounds like some sort of interference generated by some noisy electrical appliance/device, perhaps in your house a that of a neighbour.

The fact that it happens at the same time suggests that it is something that is timed, although it could be something that is manually switched on by the user, just at the same time.

A noisy pump or motorised valve on a central heating/hot water system could be a possibility. Try turning such things off when it occurs to discount them as possibilities.
