E4 Reception

chewed

Apologies if this has already been discussed but I couldn't find any threads/posts.

I have Sky Plus and noticed over the last few weeks that E4 appears with audio glitches and a green line that flash up every now and again!

Anyone else notice this?

All the other channels appear to be fine. Though I haven't tested all of them!

Sir Oxman

First thing to check is if you have any dect phones nearby.

I noticed this as well, as i dont watch it (only flick onto by chance the odd time) so it dosnt bother me.

a dect phone or wireless signal can cause it to drop out.

I do remember that i had the laptop on while it was on . must do an experiment ..

my hands free phone is in the next room and i have to switch it off at the wall if i want to record any Channel 4 or E4

I've actually seen an ad (think it was on the True Movies channel ) highlighting the problem with the DECT phones. Can't understand why this isn't shown on any of the C4 family.

I have no phone near the Sky box.

Do the neighbours?

Channel 4 should ditch this transponder and let the shopping channels have it. If it was the UK version of these channels you can be sure the problem would be fixed fairly sharpishly.

well i have done few things to find a source .

turned off(removed power) all wireless and dect devices, as well as mobile phone.
my nearest neighbours are more than 100M away so no interference from there .

and the problem still persists..
