mazbar: Although I would prefer NOT to be involved in any who said what debate, but on the subject of no-one having suggested switching off the suspect device, I had actually referred (28th @ 11.49pm) to the neighbour switching "everything" off as the only way of determining if his equipment was responsible or not for the problem.
And on the subject of the under floor cabling, I realise that its a bit time consuming to backtrack through all the postings made on this subject, but Rob had said on 25th @1.31pm that the fault was still evident even when the under floor section had been bypassed by using a fly lead from the wall socket straight into the TV.

jb38: did rob get the neighbor to switch everything off and did this rectify his problem. If it did then it is the neighbor. If the face plate was connected to was connected to the splitter the interfereance can go each way. The other thing it could be is the ring main faulty to this one point that can cause interfereance . Can I ask have you ever been to a customer where the interfereance was coming from something next door other than a radio ham ?

jb38: worse case virgin cone out to the neighbour find nothing wrong and charge him for the call out. The neighbour will want the money back off rob. Rob will still have his problem and will have to call out an aerial rigger to fault find. What he should have done in the first place was called the rigger out to fault find if it was in robs house he would have fixed it, if it was the neighbour house rob could have billed virgin for the riggers cost .

There is no em interference coming from my mains i have checked it with the am radio and no noise comes from that area. I did not want to spend loads of money when i expect the issue to be from next door. In the threads on this the TV is fine when moved from the wall and had been there for 4 years with no problem, problem has only been there since since the neighbors moved in and had virgin fitted. Also how do you explain all the noise on the wall with my kit switched off.
All advice is welcome, the leads are fine i can wire a coax plug, its not nasa science.
Regards
Rob

Rob as for the coax plug if you use one with a screw and it isn't fully screwed in it short circuit the plug just better to take the screw out.

Rob: I think your neighbour has been very helpful so far so I would ask him if he gets charged for virgin coming out and there is no problem his end he would be very unhappy and might expect you to pay his cost.

Have not asked them to turn it off yet, they turned there phone off for me and that made no difference, little embarrassed to go round all the time. Coax plugs just normal type. Virgin should not have an issue coming to check it out, they are saying that there tv reception through virgin us not good, maybe they are being affected in a similar way. The interference starts about 2/3 feet from the wall but is really loud behind the tv.
regards
Rob

Hi Mike P,
Filled the form in through Ofcom, don't know how they approach these things but it would be good if they could confirm that it is something to do with the neighbors installation. They are really friendly about it next door and as i say they have said they will get Virgin Media back to check it out, however little concerned they may just say everything is fine if the tech has not got the right equipment.
Thanks again all for the help and advice i will keep you up to date on the outcome.
Regards
Rob
