Millions will have to pay to get Freeview TV - Home News - UK - The Independent
This article basically says that if you live within 2k of the new 4G transmitters you will get interference from them and will not be able to tune in to many freeview channels. I am unable to get BBC1, 2, 3 and 4 and intermittent reception for Dave and Dave ja vu. The above link may go some way towards explaining your problem. I am presently looking into getting rid of virgin media as they keep putting their prices up but having read this article in the Independent I may wait a bit until the Government agrees to pay not only the filter costs but also the installation costs before switching to Freeview +. Hope this helps.

Deb: It does not help spreading misinformation. The article says that "Estimates suggest that between 2.3m and 3m households within 2km of 4G transmitters - face interference with their television pictures, with some losing their signals entirely."
This does not say that all those who live within 2km of 4G transmitter will be affected.
The link does not explain Christine's problem unless you are suggesting that a 4G operator is acting illegally by broadcasting on the 800MHz frequencies which are those that will affect TV reception. These have not been auction off yet and so should be silent.
EE has been allowed to run its 4G network using some of its 1800MHz allocation which is what it uses for GSM/2G services.

Deb: The most likely scenario for interference from 4G is where the Freeview signal is weak and the 4G signal is strong. Adding a wideband amplifier to the viewer's aerial with no filtering will result in the 4G signal becoming so strong that it overloads the tuner. The use of group A, B or K aerials where frequency allocation permits, plus good quality double screened coax will minimise unnecessary pick-up of the 4G signal in addition to the use of filters. A very small percentage of viewers who wish to receive C60 or C59 could have problems filtering out a strong 4G signal on say C61, especially if they are receiving from a vertically polarised relay transmitter.It has been acknowledged that changing to a transmitter in a different direction/ on a lower frequency/ horizontally polarised if possible could offer a solution in such cases, otherwise satellite or cable reception might be the only suitable alternative.

I have pixelleted picture going every few seconds to "no signal" on my freeview television since 2nd February 2013 (2months now)I have a roof aerial and should be receiving from Sandy Heath transmitter. I can only get BBc Look North News instead of Look East now. This is also pixellated and loses signal. I have already asked for assistance to resolve this. I have re-tuned many times with no difference in transmission quality. Please Help

M Kingshott: If you're not getting Look East then clearly you aren't tuned in to Sandy Heath - Look North will be from Belmont.
You should do a manual retune after clearing the channel from you TV (first time installation/factory settings with aerial out) then add back the following UHF channel in the manual search option: 27 24 21 (HD) 51 52 48.

Having reset my tv and tried scanning for channels... Nothing! Just keep getting a 'No channel found. Please check local signal availability' message. Live in city centre of Nottingham and have had numerous power cuts recently... Anyone know anything? Thanks

Charlotte: You best policy would be to first of all check with a neighbour to find out if the problem is confined to your installation or not, as maybe others are also experiencing the same as yourself, if they are then its the landlords problem.

Charlotte - Just to add to jb38's advice, If you want to know if there is a problem in your flat, A simple signal test at the wall plate will tell you.
Any aerial engineer will be able to do this for a small call out charge, prob take about 15 mins

i have has problems in the small hours of today 2am - 5am, lost everything at one point and most had problems like intermittent signals, they seem to be all back now though :)
Currently I have no com6 and I get some interference on com4.
Prior to that noticed com4 was weak I could not power to devices from it, so com4 and com6 need more power IMO. I do not see how turning them up can cause a problem when they are so weak in the first place.
Problem is worse in Summer I find so some tweaking needed there!!!
