I know exactly what you mean. We used to get unwanted radio chatter over all our stations because the chap next door used to be a CB fan with an illegal signal booster on his rig.

Last night, though, as I was working on the Freeview, I told Mum "Well, looks like we might not get a good picture, but at least we'll be able to listen to Arrow Taxis."

So at least I got a laugh out of it. :)

Things have improved since the posting. I kicked the coax cable, and the picture went suddenly clear as crystal. Even Channel Five went clear - and that's never happened here.

I found out that it's a piece of cable splicing that needs fixing. We'll get it fixed tomorrow with a proper cable connector ... and that, it would seem, might solve all of our problems at a stroke.

I hope.
