Street Light is interesting, Briantist. I'll look for a correlation between lighting uo and interference starting. If that is not the case it's time to get a man in with a meter. My TV recorder (Not TIVO, hard disk thing from Panasonic like the TV) is tuned to a different xmitter, and is less affected (the TV refuses to tune to it) And I am currently watching TV after 9pm by record and watch!
We used to be able to report interference to some statutory body, didn't we, and they came out and investigated it reasonably fast?
Confusing that we have twin Tims right now. I'm the UK chap in TQ6

I have a loft mounted aerial with booster and untraceable cables down to my aerial socket (Very old and much fiddled with house). Which are the fly leads?
I'll report the interference anyway after seeing time correlations or not tonight

Roof is impossible - GII listed building. But the problem has only just started and I've been in this house 20 months. Tenant for 12 months before that reports no problems then either.
So, unsuitable or not, it used to work and now doesn't. So something has changed approx 10 days ago. Must be a timed event since it's a regular thing.
Didn't we used to report interference to the then General Post Office as a statutory body? BBC is (surely) just interested in being the BBC?
Tks for info re fly leads. Always expect me to be ignorant, coz I am :)

Ah, I did try the big one, but there is what is technically known as a flirping great hill in the way. I need a different physical aerial for the other one, too. WHen I moved in we were tuned to the other, then the set gave that idea up :)

Always treat me as a bear of very little brain. Even if I am not it will help others , jb38. "Mux Ch41 or 47"?
I understand almost nothing of how to find that on my TV. Do you have a spoon with which to feed me, please? Waggling the aerial I can do. BTW are you speaking of true or magnetic bearings?
My attic is devoid of tankage. The only great water filled lump in it will be me! Power cables are scarce there. The only one that is live is the one to the aerial booster, at east within the 1 metre distance

Ah, never assume. I follow instructions well :) So I need to look in the TV menu for some sort of signal strength meter. Will do loads of prodding.
How do I find the actual physical location of the transmitter? I'm imagining fondly that, of I can see it or a;most see it, then I should be ok! I can also see if something has been built between it and me!

Dartmouth
At 9pm ALL my limited set of freeview channels from the Dartmouth transmitter degrade to unwatchable. As time passes the degradation increases. This has repeated every night for the last several nights. We know that, at 9pm, this will happen.
Clearing out the freeview channels and retuning has no effect, with of without hard power reset. I use a freeview enabled TV, not a set top box. TQ6 9PQ is the full postcode
