2) Run a UHF antenna feed to the hifi room, and use a 'FreeView' box.

Dunno.. Perhaps you don't mind MP2 low rate artefacts.. I do..

I have in the past (mostly) been quite happy with the sound quality on R3
and BBC4 for Prom broadcasts. There have been some notable exceptions
where there seemed to be a specific problem. Also, the DTTV signal seems
much more prone to audio 'glitches' due to impulse interference than DAB.
However, overall, in our local conditions I prefer it to FM R3. The snag
being that "what you have shalt be taken away" may eventually apply to this
as well as to DAB...


Hence as well as a limited signal, we seem to have a major source of
interference on much the same line of sight.

Well if it is interference on such a scale that its causing upset then
Ofcom ought to be interested but I somehow doubt that is and if it is
what would it be?. Perhaps the answer lies closer to home!..

I have now begun to suspect that the CT7000 has slowly deteriorated and I
became 'accustomed' to this as it happened, and assumed it was simply
interference. So it may be that a more modern tuner as well as a better
antenna would deal with the problem. My dilemma is as I outlined before...
