<p>That was easy. I went next door and asked them when they used the phone. I had been adviced to do this by Kordia or whatever they were called back then. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>S Mclean said:</cite></p>

<p>I should have asked before, how were you able to identify the neighbour's phone as the cause of the problem. I've tried to find a local tech with signal test gear to screen for transmissions in the same band width but no luck as yet.</p>

<p>The reception for the NZTV channels is okay in the am starts then degrading late afternoon by about 5pm it's completely cactus thru to next day and only the June to Sept period. This rules out casual household activities and seems to indicate some type of seasonal operation of equipment that outputs a high strength signal strong enough to disturb transmission bands. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>James Eaton said:…</cite></p>

<p>Can you confirm your area and how you receive Freeview: UHF aerial or a satellite dish?</p>
<p>Is it connected direct to your tv or do you use a set top box? </p>
