    Freeview interference

    If you are starting to get interference (pixelating) on Freeview, that you did not get before, this may be due to 4G, or particularly 5G phone masts. This is due to the frequencies that have been allocated to the phone masts being close to the TV frequencies. It was known that this would occur, so an agency called Restore TV was set up to deal with it.
    If you are having this trouble, visit the Restore TV website for information. You may remember, that when Channel 5 started broadcasting, it interfered with video recorders. To overcome this, a device was supplied to block Channel 5! Restore TV will provide such a device free, to reduce the mast signals. You can call their helpline on 0808 13 13 800.
