spuds It could be one of two things -

TV is not as sensitive as the set top box - needs a pre-amp for the aerial

TV has too strong a signal - needs an attenuator in the aerial lead

Go into the menu and have a look for a page that give the info about signal strength (Diagnostics on my TV), you need over 80% for a good picture. If they are all at 100% then it might be they are too strong and reducing the strength with a attenuator might help.

I have both! One TV needed a pre-amp on the aerial lead (LG monitor/TV) the other needed an attenuator (LG TV) --- I set both for ~95% signal and it improved the quality of them - no drop-outs or pixellation.

Chegs ®™ you were not the cause of interference caused to poorly designed equipment that is susceptible to picking up transmissions it wasn't supposed to, you end up doing the manufactures job for them.

I think in this case the problem lays with the receiving equipment and not 4G, they were only offered a band that happened to close to the existing TV band by the government. So it is back to the TV manufacturers who make the TV's but they will argue that their equipment was designed and operated as intended at the time without any problems before 4G appeared, so it's back to the government to ask the question why they placed another high power non compatible system so close to another? I can see this going around in circles for some considerable time, and ultimately it will be the consumer or tax payer who loses out at the end of it as usual.

4G is basically going to make existing wireless connection speeds look as if they are standing still - with 4G you can potentially get data download transfer speeds of around 1 Gigabyte per second on a stationary device - 100 Mps on the move.

There's going to be a battle between two competing formats, and eventually one of them will lose out. Like many technology issues, 4G is not a clear-cut situation just yet.

'John Tate, Director of Policy & Strategy at the BBC, said the introduction of 4G would highly lucrative and that the signal interference problem should be dealt with using the “polluter pays” principle.'

Thanks for the information. Over the past number of years we have had an array of aerials and boosters, which have brought in channels that other people in my area were unable to get. We have two satellite dishes, but that's a different matter at present. Since changing the televisions from the old system with top-boxes to digital with freeview pre-installed, things have gone wrong channel wise, so I suspect that its going to be a case of getting the local aerial installation company involved?.
