Jason: As per Chris.SE's comment, a potential possibility other thanengineering works is a nearby phonemast. Noting that there are communal residences within your postcode and your reference to 'my residence' which makes me think you might be in a property served by a communalaerial system, then remediation for any mobileinterference would rest with the party responsible for the system.

At your location theBelmont transmitter might be available. If it is a communal aerial system then it might be filtered so as to allow through from the aerial only thechannels used by the designated transmitter. However, if it is not then it might provide usefulreception of Belmont, as a workaround whileEmley Moor is inadequate.

Try a manualscan on UHF channels 22 and 25, which are Belmont PSB1 / BBC A (BBCstandard definition TV) and PSB2 / D3&4 (ITV1,Channel 4,Channel 5 and other sister channels) respectively. The HDmultiplex from Belmont is onC28, so try a scan of that too if your TV has a HD tuner.

Also, look in the logical channel numbers 800 upwards to see if there is BBC One Yk&Li. If it is present, this will be BBC One from Belmont. See what reception is like from Belmont; it might offer a temporary fix.
