Alun and Elaine Rees, who live in the Welsh village of Aberhosan, hit headlines across the world last week after engineers discovered their old second-hand TV had been causing widespread problems for hundreds of people. The pensioners used to switch on their second-hand £30 TV at around 7am every morning to watch Piers Morgan. So Good Morning Britain decided to help fix the problem, and sent in presenter Andi Peters to deliver them a brand new, giant flatscreen TV.

Radio frequency radiation, no doubt. Welders that use hi-frequency can also cause problems with electronics. It can radiate or couple back into the power lines.

johng Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 15 hours ago, Damrongsak said: Radio frequency radiation, no doubt. I could understand if it caused the WiFi signal to go down in a close area but to take out a whole village internet suggests to me that maybe it interfered with the ISP's local equipment...maybe the village is supplied internet via a microwave link and the tv was disrupting that ? From the Daily Mail Quote Openreach engineer Michael Jones said the company's chief engineering team helped to solve the mystery by using a spectrum analyser to look for a phenomenon known as 'Shine' (single high-level impulse noise). and Quote Suzanne Rutherford of Openreach said such issues are not as rare as people may think. 'Anything with electric components – from outdoor lights to microwaves to CCTV cameras – can potentially have an impact on your broadband connection,' she said. She advised people to ensure their electrical appliances are properly certified and meet British standards. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
