The interference is so frustrating, with continual lines,flickering and pixilating. Voices sound as though they are under water. This has been occurring for nearly two weeks. I have returned 20times at the weekend. In the end the television stopped working altogether. I have a new one being delivered. I receive my signal from hannington. transmitter (which is reported as good). My question is, what is interfering with the signal by the time it reaches me???. I am amazed with all the knowledge and technology that this can occur.
How long will this continue???
Is this a ploy on behalf of virgin/sky to force free view watchers into buying tv programmes.
Please help

P.Davis: The interference is coming from distant transmitters which broadcast on the same frequency. Retuning certainly will not stop it happening and nor is your new TV likely to be any better. There is no conspiracy or ploy to push people into subscribing to Sky or Virgin, it is simply down to the current weather conditions causing a phenomenon called tropospheric ducting, which has been understood by scientists and broadcast engineers for decades. There is no technological solution, it is simply a case of waiting for the weather conditions to change which will cause the tropo to end and with it the interference from distant transmitters will disappear.

Anna:
As indicated in the post before yours, recent weather conditions have been disrupting reception at various times in many areas across the UK.
They have been causing Tropospheric Ducting affecting much of the south coast and southern parts of the country on last Saturday and extending into the Midlands and North of the country through Sunday including East Anglia, then affecting all Wales and England. These conditions have been unusually quite extreme on occasion recently.
This causes interfering signals from distant transmitters in Europe or the UK to affect reception of your wanted signals. This can periodically last, seconds, minutes and sometimes much longer.
Do NOT Retune. (If you'd been correctly tuned I cannot understand why people think retuning will help when the set says no signal, it's not going to get a signal that's not there!).
There is nothing you can do about this situation apart from wait for conditions to change, or use online streaming if available.
IF you did retune, usually you'd be best manually retuning the UHF channels for your transmitter, as detailed in the top section of the relevant transmitter page.
As the conditions have substantially subsided, an automatic retune may restore all your channels.
However, the conditions may still come and go albeit not as severe as previously and you may have to resort to manual tuning. Go into your TV's tuning section and look for the Manual tuning option.
Then tune each of Hannington's UHF channels which are C39, C40, C42, C43, C45 & C46.
(C means channel, if you hover over those it will give the frequency should you need them).
If you are in a weaker signal area, such conditions won't help, but as you haven't given a full postcode I can't check that.
