Filters will be provided for Freeview televisions which experience reception problems following the roll out of 4G later this year. But that’s only one filter per household. Additional filters will cost £18.

Ofcom estimates that the TV viewing in up to 2.3 million British households could be affected by 4G but only 40% of them have Freeview.

However, around 1% of affected Freeview households 40,000 , will be unable to use them and will be offered an alternative instead. That is if alternatives can be used and then who pays for the cable or satellite?

Some people are going to be really mad at losing Freeview digital TV. Mind you the programmes are so poor, maybe not!
