I'm stuck at what to do. I moved into a property in Norwich NR3 3DG early January, no probs with digital signal. As of probably a month ago I am now having intermittent signal issues but last couple of days it's been every day for some part of the evening. I have tried the Freeview reset procedure, I've tried a different digital box, different aerial lead. I tried a manual search but that seemed to make things worse. So I auto scan from time to time and eventually they all come back. When it's out it's the BBC channels that go, ITV, Ch 5 are okay then there are some channels that are picking up but really breaking up. I have deciphered that it is certain frequency of channels that all go, or all stay. But not sure what to do with that info. It says I am on East Anglia transmitter. I share a communal aerial (it's a flat) but my neighbour is not having problems. I am aware that 4G is affecting some people but if i phone up that company for a filter not sure i'll get one as it's a communal aerial but not everyone is being affected. Help please!

Hi Mike, I put my postcode in my original comment, it's NR3 3DG. I also spoke to the neighbour who uses the communal aerial and he is not having issues, my other neighbour has a satellite dish so uses that.

Thanks guys for your input. Hmmmm. Well I've ordered a cheap attenuator to give that a go but not hopeful. If the signal is too high then surely I would have experienced problems from day one when I moved in? That's not been the case, it's only been in the last month so there is a factor that has changed in that time but how to work that out factor has changed? Today has been a really windy day in Norwich and this evening everything is pretty much gone with my signal. Does that tell me something? Sometimes if I stand and move around the digibox and the tv in different places, when experiencing signal problems, that can make it worse. Does that tell me something? And how to diagnose if the problem is up to my aerial point or beyond I'm still none the wiser. I don't own a smartphone and neither does my neighbour so neither of us are causing 4G interference. God I miss old school analogue TV! Digital being better is such a con!
