Interference from back boiler

[robh1f]

Hi new on here and a sparky by trade....so apoligies first!! Been to a mates flat who has a back boiler which is serviced yearly but when it fires up his satellite picture sort of freezes then comes back to normal. Before I go around to start testing it all has anyone had this problem before?? Don't know make or model yet just hoping to save myself a bit of troubleshooting time!! Cheers Rob.

Yes, this is not that unusual. Last time alot of years ago, I changed the gas valve and it stopped it. Apparrently it was to do with interference from the solonoid motor.

I get inteference from my normal aerial when i switch on and off a lamp in bedroom, both cables are no where near ech other. I think it is one of those things, I think the only option would be to try and move the cable as far away from boiler as possible

its the supressor that causes this it is located on the gas valve solenoid and can be bought seperately
