I have a portable DVB-T TV receiver – will this affect me?
Portable DVB-T TVs receive Freeview and therefore may be affected.
The main factor is the location of the receiver; any receiver located close to a 4G transmitter will have a higher risk of interference than one located further away.
In addition, if the portable receiver is connected to an omni-directional aerial it will tend to be more susceptible to problems than a directional aerial.
Unfortunately, an at800 filter cannot be inserted if the aerial is integrated into a DVB-T receiving device.
