Causes of interference

Incorporated in your TV receiver are the most up-to-date devices to eliminate interference. 

Local radiation however, can create disturbances, which visibly affect your picture. Proper 

installations, a good aerial are your best safeguards against these disturbances.

•  RF INTERFERENCE: Moving ripples across the screen are caused by nearby transmitting or 

receiving short-wave radio equipment.

•  DIATHERMY: Herringbone pattern and partial picture loss can result from the operation of 

diathermy equipment from a nearby doctor’s surgery or hospital.

•  SNOW: Weak TV signals from long distant stations result in an instead picture and give the 

effect of falling snow. An antenna adjustment or antenna amplifier may be needed.

•  GHOST: Multiple image, caused by TV signals reflected back from surrounding buildings, 

hills, aircraft, etc. is minimized by correct aerial positioning.

•  CAR IGNITION: Nearby cars and electrical motors can cause small streaks across the picture 

or make the picture roll.
