Can the T Mobile aerial tower which has been erected near my home cause interference with my free vi

The problem is either with channel 4, E4 etc or the Itv channels

Ok, the person above is right in part - the frequencies are miles apart, however, there are two factors which mean the answer is yes, it can interfere:

1. As well as the main frequency being broadcast, any radio frequency also delivers 'shadow' transmissions which arise in diminishing strength at multiples of the main frequency. These could well interfere as they exist far beyond the main radio frequency being put out by the mast.

2. TV ariels are capable of receiving a broad spectrum of frequencies, not just your TV signal. This is why Tetra frequencies used by the emergency services can sometimes cause TV interference if you are close to the Tetra ariel. When TV ariels are installed, some have a junction box which limits the frequencies to only those within the TV spectrum, but this is rarely the case as housebuilders don't bother with the additional expense.

HOWEVER, be careful about directing your accusations at T-Mobile, as the interference could be from a huge number of other sources e.g. bad ariel connections, unshielded applicances in your home etc.

A solution is to call a TV ariel engineer and get shielded ariel cable and a junction box. Or, make a complaint to Ofcom who will come out and investigate - they will test the signals at all frequencies being intercepted by your TV ariel. Yes it can No - the frequencies used in each case are miles and miles apart. Yup, can indeedy...i'd be more worried about it effecting your brain and health though! Dodgey structures. if the new mast is in line with your aerial by line of sight yes it can. but in any other case the answer is no It could do.
