    Default crap signal levels

    I'm in a smallish town in the Central Coast NSW(Lake Munmorah) & receive our signal from mount Sugarloaf west of Newcastle. The main issue is the regular intermittent pixelisation & signal loss around 5-6ish most nights( usually ABC,SBS) though most other channels are also affected. Grrrr. Talking with the locals & the local Progress ass, this problem has been made worse with the erection of another mobile tower recently coming on line. Our antenna's are mainly phased array though a few are yargi's. During an outage I can get a clear signal through the back of the antenna via our adjoining transmitter even though its horizontal polarisation where ours is vertical. Faark. I understand via research that Mobile tower transmission can effect TV signal levels.
    Can any of you techies out in RF land explain WTF we can do to solve this this problem. Many thanks

    If you haven't already, fit an LTE filter.

    Example:

    The filter needs to be inserted in the coax from the antenna.

    If you have an amp, diplexer, splitter, etc... the filter must be after the antenna but before any other device.
