Do you have a gas hob or oven?  If so, do you have one of those peizo
igniter thingies?  Try clicking that in the same room!!!

I had quite bad break-up at first (on ITV/C4 multiplex) - light switches,
motor bikes/scooters going past....
Fitting a new high gain aerial, new RF downlead and connectors has pretty
much cured it now.
