Get in contact with these people and complain
at800 | 4G & Freeview | 4G Interference | 4G Filters | at 800 MHz
For those in the SO postcode areas there is a 4G transmitter in Southampton of which coverage is close to my home. They list our area as not affected but I think they have to provide a filter if there is any possibility of interference

Hedge end (SO30) resident here - our TV reports both signal strength and quality, and yesterday evening it hovered around 0 signal quality, but the same signal strength, and we had no service.
Exactly the same behaviour as when we had interference on our end a year ago due to an unshielded fly lead and HDMI cable, but with those issues ruled out, I believe it was external interference this time.
This morning - all back to normal hovering around 100% signal quality!
Suspect there was something going on, wonder if it could be 4G testing overnight...

And it continues into the w/e - no signal in Liphook. Something has definitely changed since midweek - and please don't tell me this is high pressure related - we've had high pressure points at other times of the year with no issus. If Hannington are reporting no issues someone needs to start joining the dots and looking at the 4G links - which rather coincidentally started testing this week too. Anyhow I'm no expert but when enough people start experiencing a problem someone needs to look at it. I'm assuming this is the correct site to ask for this.

Have been having poor signals and reception for the past week on digital and freeview. Friday 27th was extremely bad with most channels gone completely for most of the day.Had an aerial engineer check my system and no fault was found he suspects it to be the transmitter. Our post code is SO30 3JQ. There are many in our area with the same problem so please advise what you are doing about it.

I've sent an email to at800 based on the link Mark provided above. Hopefully if several people do this from the Southampton/West End/Hedge End area, they will investigate.

Problems are due to atmospheric pressure...
Hi all. We live in North Dorset and for some reason get our signal from Rowridge transmitter on the I of W. I have managed to get through to the broadcast dept (who only talk to the broadcast companies, not to the general public) of Arqiva who own and manage the Rowridge transmitter. He says ( as did digitalUK) that the mast is working ok, but the signal is badly affected by high pressure. Not a meteorologist so cannot explain why this particular high pressure is causing problems...
This explains our local TV shop's signal screen, which shows sort of adequate signal for BBC but 0 /zero quality. The owner says BBC now the main problem, other channels not so bad.
Is there freak weather on the I of W?!

Had reply from at800 to say no G4 testing at 800Mhz in this area so this is not cause of transmission problems. BBC reported at lunchtime that atmospheric pressure causing reception problems at moment - but,if this is correct, we have never experienced problems to this extent before.

We have been experiencing loss of signal for 3 evenings in the last 10 days, sometimes for hours. (All the evening yesterday!) TV service shop in Hedge End checked out Hannington transmitter - no reported work going on or faults. Their aerials man said it migh be due to high pressure(e.g.weather!), but the helpful shop owner could not throw any further light on our problems. Called up the AT 800 helpdesk and they reported no transmission problems with Hannington or Isle of Wight. What can we do? Everyone is saying there are no faults reported and no engineering works, yet lots of people around the area, are experiencing problems. What now?

Hannington transmitter is giving a poor signal to GU30 area. Getting fed up retuning TVs to find it makes no difference. Is this progress or what??. Sorry - end of rant.
