I've just been sent this article by a colleague, and thought you might might find it useful.

Apparently, when the new $G network becomes live, it will affect 10% of UK's TV.........

Worth remembering when your receiver starts making a mess of your favourite programs.

    It's hard to believe full stop, how 4G is allegedly transmitting on the same frequency as the tv signal.

    non issue

    anyone likely to be affected will get a filter from dmsl as first option (free), plus assistance to fit if they're old or disabled etc.

    if that doesn't work dmsl will install alternate service (free)

    The thing is, if it's a band-stop filter that blocks a specific 4G frequency, surely it must block tv signals that are on the same frequency too.

    It's only a non issue if you know about it and so do the people who are supposed to be sorting it out, hence the heads -up.
