Restore TV to provide free support in Alcester if TV interference occurs- Mobile networks are being improved in Alcester boosting the speed, performance and coverage of mobile services in the area.
There is a small chance that these upgrades may cause interference to TV services received through an aerial such as Freeview, BT, TalkTalk and YouView. Signs include intermittent sound, blocky images or loss of TV signal.
If viewers do experience interference caused by mobile network upgrades, free support is available from Restore TV.
Restore TV is an independent programme run by Digital Mobile Spectrum Limited that resolves TV interference caused by the upgrade of mobile signals by providing help and support to viewers that receive TV through an aerial.
