Millions of Freeview customers will be burdened with bills of more than £200 to install a filter to prevent a new mobile network interfering with their television picture.

Experts have warned that without the necessary filter the 4G mobile phone network will cause significant pixellation and picture break-up.

Freeview and the BBC are furious at the government's decision to land the taxpayer with the expense of installing the filters which they say could add £212 on to the existing cost of cable television.

Maybe the use of the term "cable" in this article, is generic - meaning more than "free to air"?

Has Sky + separate Freeview box for when the Sky TV is occupied, problem Wolfey?

I use Freeview (Can't afford anything else) and this would be a pain. All that money for a signal that keeps dropping out for me anyway.

Yeah i can't pick up the Central Lincoln transmitter where i live. I'm getting my signal from the Belmont transmitter. It's never been a great signal here.

No worries. Who know what will have happened by then.

£200? - it may be more cost effective in the long run to get a base level Sky package...pay for 12 months and keep the kit
