Channel 5’s greatest test broadcast so far was carried out at the weekend. The test produced significantly less interference to existing channeling than had been expected.
13,000 people living in London and the surrounding area reported that they suffered interference. The test was expected to lead to 175,000 calls from homes that had been missed.
Channel 5 is committed to retuning televisions in up to 12 million UK homes, to ensure that viewers who use video recorders, satellite dishes or cable transmissions do not suffer interference.
NYNEX CableComms, Britain’s second largest cable company, has linked up with Channel 5 to ensure that 75,000 cable television customers in north-west England will be able to receive the new channel without any signal interference.
