RESIDENTS of a town near Whitchurch will be still be able to view free TV despite upgrades to mobile network thanks to support from a free programme.

Work is being carried out in Malpas to improve the speed, performance and coverage of the mobile network but there is a chance the upgrade could cause interference to TV received through an aerial such as Freeview, BT, TalkTalk and YouView but support will be there from Restore TV.

Restore TV’s role is to ensure people can continue to enjoy free to view TV when mobile is upgraded in their area and it provides help to anyone experiencing interference to TV services caused by mobile signals.

"Restore TV exists to ensure we all can continue to access free to view TV as mobile services are improved across the country.

"If you see new TV interference, we’re on hand to help you resolve the issue.

"We can send a Restore TV filter, free of charge, for you to fit between your aerial lead and TV or set-top box to remove mobile signals and allow you to watch free to view TV as normal.

"Full instructions are included, and we can provide further advice online and by phone if needed.

"In most instances, fitting the filter will resolve any issues, but if this isn’t the case, we may also be able to arrange a follow-up visit from a Restore TV engineer at no cost, depending on eligibility."
