Moanchester Freeview viewers expressed their outrage this week that there was nothing on TV to watch, with one pensioner nearly buying a new TV.

The testing of the new 4G signal bands resulted in Freeview customers loosing their TV signal and being forced to re-tune their TV's, just in case there was anything on TV to watch.
Said Dr. Intereference Pattern for VodaTaxSteal, "We have paid a lot of money for our 4G licence and plan to make oodles of money. If that means people can no longer watch their favourite soap opera on Freeview...tough."
The initial Government position on the interference problem was to suggest that any taxpayers affected would have to go out and purchase their own filter to overcome the issue. However, following a backlash by consumer rights groups, the Mobile Phone Operators have set up a £180 million fund to overcome this 'unlikely' problem that will only afffect a 'few' households.
So if you were affected by this weeks test of the 4G network rollout, Choughworld suggests that you ask the Mobile Phone Operators for a free filter before the 4G signal is turned on and you loose your TV reception for good.

Good luck.
