A new super-fast 4G mobile broadband signal due to be launched in Britain later this year could, it has been suggested, disrupt television reception for 2.3 million households – with some 40,000 homes losing their signal altogether (http://tinyurl.com/b68u9rw)
Those most at risk of interference are those receiving their TV signals through the Freeview service. An engineer will need to visit each home affected to fit a device to filter out the 4G signal interference. This will be free for the 1st set in each home but will cost £5 for each additional TV in the house.
Helpful as ever, Madhatters has a solution to offer those sat staring at a blank screen while . . . waiting (days? weeks?) for an engineer to come fit a filter.
If you have a computer (desktop, laptop, tablet) and a broadband internet connection you can watch TV for free without needing a satellite or cable TV signal
If you have an iPad or an Android tablet, download and install the filmon.tv app
Or point the browser on your desktop or laptop to www.filmon.com
When you run the app or launch the web page you will be asked for your location so the software knows what TV channels to offer you to view.
The channels are broadcast in two formats – SD (which is free to watch) and HD (for which you have to pay a subscription)

When you launch a programme, the default viewing format is HD. After a minute or two a screen will pop up asking if you want to pay a subscription to continue viewing in HD or switch to the free SD format
{I choose the SD format

I’ve been using this service since Xmas and love it because the broadcasts are ‘live’. In other words, it is not a catch-up service like the BBC iPlayer which allows folk to view BBC shows AFTER they have been broadcast. This App/Web service allows you to view the programmes as they are being broadcast. So if I’m watching a programme on the TV in the living room and need to do something in the kitchen or want to go to bed, I can switch to watching it on my tablet or laptop
Try it out for yourself (if you have the know-how and the correct cables you could even connect your tablet or laptop to your TV set and watch the output from filmon.tv there)
