Over the past two months my TV has deteriorated. ITV3 is unwatchable and BBC! is painful to watch.
I have all the symptoms listed in the at800.tv website of 4G interference but I am not in a 4G area.
Today I bought an 800Mcs filter but it has not made any difference.
Sony UK Technical Support (who are, of course in the US and 5 hours away) seem unable to solve this.
I appear to be the only house affected.
My postcode is RG29 1PH and tuned to Hannington.
I keep asking: what has changed in the last 2 months?

Briantist. Thanks for the response but I cannot find anything there to help.
My external aerial has withstood gales in the past and the weather has been quite calm recently. Nothing else has been moved or tampered with.
So I repeat my question: what has changed in the past 2 months.
I put this question in the shop where I bought my booster and the man said "4G".
Went home, looked it up and find I have all the symptoms of 4G interference from 4G.
Hence my attempt with the 800 Mc/s filter.

Briantist. I seem to have a fix.
I had fitted the 800 filter in the wrong place: I have now put it between the aerial and the booster. The result is almost perfect TV with only slight pixilation on ITV3 (always my weakest channel).
So who is sending out rogue 800 Mc/s signals in my area? Can we be sure it is not some mutation or focusing of 4G ?
At Sony's recommendation I want to up my booster to 20 dB but am having a problem finding one, not helped by the fact that most of the makers are very coy about their dB figure.

jb38. Many thanks for your response. However I need a 3-way output.
I have found one via Amazon. Costs a bit more but will hopefully do the job.

During the last 3 months my tv signal has become impossible to use.
The 4g people say I am not in a 4G area.
I fitted an 800 MHz filter and there was an immediate improvement.
On the advice of Sony I have upgraded my booster to 20 dB and my reception is near perfect.
What has caused this unwarranted interference.
My postcode is RG29 1PH and I M tuned to Hannington..
