Sky HD Magic Eye RF Channel Advice
I know many may have exprienced this.
I have been on Channel 68 for the longest of time but i suspect that i may be having interference if late.
I have changed both my amplifier and the IO Link box. Now i get a picture but it is fuzzy.
My sky HD is connected to 3 TVs and i see the issue on the other TVs.
My question is how do i know what channel to tune to in my area to avoid this interference
@Mark39 , I know you have a bit of knowledge in this area. I am based in Essex
Cheers

I happen to be Essex-based too. If your TV aerial points to the Sudbury transmitter, the channels to avoid are 29, 31, 37, 41, 44, and 47. Ideally avoid 1 either side of each channel (so 28, 39, 30 etc) Channels above 50 are no longer used for TV transmission, but instead are prone to interference from cellular masts. You can find the channels used by other transmitters by googling Freeview transmitter information. Hope it helps.

I'm in London and the default 68 works fine for me, check your Freeview transmitters frequencies and choose a channel that does not clash

The Crystal Palace transmitter operates on channels 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 30 and 35. Those are the channels to avoid.
As @Annie+UK posted, the default channel 68 will be fine as long as your tv can tune that high - many recent tvs won't tune above channel 50.
