Perth
I live in scone, Perth (postcode ph2 6tf). I get intermittent freezing of picture on freeview. The inteference consists of two short pulses. This can happen 2 to 3 times a day and seems to mostly happen in the late afternoon. Tv aerial is external on the side of the house. Signal strength is 73% and signal quality is 100%. I do have a line of trees over the road from my house so there isnt a direct line of site to the transmitter which I understand is a relay transmitter which has only 200 watts of power. There is already a 4 g filter on the down cable and I was wondering whether this could be tetra interference.
