4G interference much less than expected in the Midlands test arThursday 26 January 2017 7:30PM
Stone
I keep losing BBC News HD,(Freeview 107). It seems that loss of Ch33 & Ch35 are the cause and affects all the programmes on those channels. Checking the "signal level" it shows 10, but on "signal condition" it is 0, at these times of loss. My rooftop aerial faces Sutton Coldfield transmitter. I use a Panasonic TV TX-40AX630B. I also have BT Vision installed. Post Code ST15 0PQ. The signal levels from the Wrekin transmitter are fairly high as we can see the Wrekin.
A new phone mast in Stone has completely blocked BBC1 & 2 on channel 45
Is it 4G radiation that causes poor signal quality?

I am quite "hard of hearing" so to hear speech I have to have the volume fairly high. An important point missed, is that loud sounds can be just as painful to the hard of hearing, as they are to people with normal hearing people. With the volume higher and the added mu-sick/noise, very often that painful and damaging level is reached.
I always have to use headphones to listen to TV and radio, sadly this makes the situation worse. Often I have to give up watching a programme and record the remainder to see when the headache clears.
Why do they add noise during news headlines and summaries?

With multiple audio tracts now with TV programmes, why can't an audio channel be used with mu-sick removed? Many programmes that I want to see are spoiled by this noise. I often record a programme and watch it in parts. Constant mu-sick gives me a headache!! It is so disappointing to look forward to a documentary for it to be spoilt by noise. Of course on a commercial channel, there is some relief by switching off the sound during the adverts.

MikeB: Thanks Mike for your comments. I am allowed to make small mistakes, I should have said Channel 43 that carries & affects the BBC programmes!! Almost all the other programmes, ITV, Channels 4 & 5 etc. all show 10 signal level but the "condition" is also around 10, making them perfect. It so happens that my neighbours around here are also having BBC reception problems.
