Many Australians have noticed new issues with their free-to-air TV reception โ pixelation, freezing, or missing channels โ since the rollout of 5G mobile networks. A common question we hear at Jimโs Antennas is: Is 5G to blame?
The answer is yes, it can be. Free-to-air TV uses UHF frequencies that now sit close to those used by 5G. In some cases, 5G signals overpower TV signals, especially if you have older antennas, amplifiers or cabling. This can cause blocky images, distorted sound or complete signal dropouts.
If your reception was fine before 5G towers went live nearby and now you have issues, interference could be the cause. Homes with masthead amplifiers or outdated antennas are most at risk.
The good news is that there are reliable solutions. At ๐๐ข๐ฆโ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐ง๐๐ฌ, we deal with 5G interference daily. Common fixes include installing a 4G/5G LTE filter, upgrading to a modern antenna, replacing old cabling, or fine-tuning amplifiers. Our technicians use specialised equipment to test signal strength, identify interference and apply the right solution to restore perfect reception.
Yes, 5G can affect your TV, but it doesnโt have to. If youโre experiencing pixelation or lost channels, call ๐๐ข๐ฆโ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐ง๐๐ฌ on ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ or visit ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ.๐ฃ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐ง๐๐ฌ.๐๐จ๐ฆ.๐๐ฎ. Our local experts can get your reception back on track quickly.
