Hi all again,
well i borrowed the am fm radio tuned it to between stations on am turned off my tv and stuff and approached the wall. Well i got within 10 inches and the interference started, as i got closer Jesus its like really noisy, very noisy behind the tv and noisy lower too pretty much the whole section of the wall from floor to around a foot higher than my tv is alive with noise.
Well i hope the virgin engineer comes out soon to sort this out, will have to remind them next week if i don't here anything.
regards
Rob

Hi jb38,
i have asked him to let me know when they are coming so hopefully i can have a chat with them. The noise was not so much a purr but a bloody great roar, really aggressive noise.
will drop him a note to remind him i think if i don't hear anything early next week.

There is no em interference coming from my mains i have checked it with the am radio and no noise comes from that area. I did not want to spend loads of money when i expect the issue to be from next door. In the threads on this the TV is fine when moved from the wall and had been there for 4 years with no problem, problem has only been there since since the neighbors moved in and had virgin fitted. Also how do you explain all the noise on the wall with my kit switched off.
All advice is welcome, the leads are fine i can wire a coax plug, its not nasa science.
Regards

Have not asked them to turn it off yet, they turned there phone off for me and that made no difference, little embarrassed to go round all the time. Coax plugs just normal type. Virgin should not have an issue coming to check it out, they are saying that there tv reception through virgin us not good, maybe they are being affected in a similar way. The interference starts about 2/3 feet from the wall but is really loud behind the tv.

Hi Mike P,
Filled the form in through Ofcom, don't know how they approach these things but it would be good if they could confirm that it is something to do with the neighbors installation. They are really friendly about it next door and as i say they have said they will get Virgin Media back to check it out, however little concerned they may just say everything is fine if the tech has not got the right equipment.
Thanks again all for the help and advice i will keep you up to date on the outcome.
Regards
Rob

Well today they do seem to be working again, filled in the form though ofcom don't know how they deal with it but would be good if they can confirm the issue.
just glad the borrowed set top boxes shielding can withstand the Emi.

Thanks again for your help
