Paul Evans: If the two televisions use the same aerial then a single filter should be fitted before the signal splits, this being particularly important if a distribution amplifier (powered booster) is being used to split the feed, because any 4G signal at 800MHz could potentially be causing it to overload and fitting the filter after it won't prevent that.

Paul Evans: Why do you think your problem has anything to do with 4G?
'I've also had interference and loss of channels over the last few days. Varying between 0 and 30 channels being discovered, and all have interference.'
OK - use Occams razor and check your signal strength! Your getting very few channels, so it immediately sounds like you have low signal strength, perhaps caused by an aerial problem. We've had severe weather over the last week, and so that might have caused a problem with cabling, etc.
It could be a problem with the transmitter, but its doubtful any problem would last that long - of course if you include a postcode, you can click on R + T
