4G interference on my SKY box (RF2 output)

[dhalv]

Hi Guys,

Not sure if this should be here or in the TV, films, etc section, but...

I have recently got a 4g phone with plan and have noticed that when the 4g is on or data is being retrieved by my phone through 4g my TV picture and sound go into spasm, essentially lots of flickering and white noise.

The TV is the one in my bedroom with picture coming from the RF2 of my main sky box.

Is this something others have found, and if it is, is there a filter or anything that I can get to try and fix this.

Cheers chaps.

I'm not sure if this helps but SatCure explains about the affect of 4G on TV signals and can supply a filter.

For £6 worth trying ?

What RF channel is the skybox set to?

If it is the range of 60 to 69 then its right on what is now the 4g signal range.

you need to move it away, but not onto a frequency used by freeview, save the settings and retune the bedroom tv

If this does not work and you have to buy a 4g filter then buy an approved one see https://at800.tv/guide/4g-filters-buying-guide/
Do not buy cheap unapproved stuff, I have seen these rigged up in a lab and they do not work

Change the RF channel the Sky box is outputting and retune the TV in the bedroom.
