John Francis: The proposal is that if you have a Freeview HD box you will get the RoI services in addition to the UK ones.

Tim: Yes, you can report such interference via the BBC reporting tool - Radio & Television Investigation Service - Diagnostic form .

However, you might find that replacing your aerial "fly leads" for ones of higher quality will also help.

jb38: I'm not sure about Scottish law, but under the English planning regulations, if a new development causes loss of TV reception, the developer is required for "make good" to those homes that lose their signal.

There is no reason in English planning law for this "make good" to be limited to a single television set, or fail to provide recorders for those who can demonstrate they already have one.

Tim: The "fly leads" are the ones that connect from a wall socket to the set or set-top box.

Loft aerials are not really suitable for reliable Freeview reception - moving the aerial to the roof and removing the booster would be a much better option.

Tim: Tim, it hasn't been the post office (GPO) for a couple of decades I don't think.

There used to be a team at Ofcom, but they delegated the investigation of interference to the BBC, so you access it via the link I provided above.
