“If you see new TV interference, we’re on hand to help you resolve the issue. We can send a Restore TV filter, free of charge, for you to fit between your aerial lead and TV or set-top box to remove mobile signals and allow you to watch free to view TV as normal. Full instructions are included, and we can provide further advice online and by phone if needed.

Cable and satellite TV are not affected but viewers with these services, who also watch free to view TV through an aerial, can receive a free Restore TV filter.
