I have just got a Panasonic TV with a built in digital freeview tuner.
I only have a standard outside arial but its on the roof of the block of flats i live in and has a booster plugged in. Its not getting the strongest signal but it works well, Until any motorbikes go past... why is this and does anyone know a solution to this. I have also tried a interference thing plugged in between the arial lead and arial tv socket.

a couple questions:
what model panny tv?
where do you live?
"freeview" is a UK term, maybe panasonic has coined it.
It's OTA (over the air) in good old US of A.

It sounds like you are watching standard analog tv on either vhf or uhf.
Part of the interference could be twin-lead ant wire instead of a shielded
rg-59 or rg-6. Depending on where you live, you may want a dedicated UHF antenna for true digital reception.
