Some of you might remember that 4G comes packaged with a few problems, mainly for those who enjoy DTT (digital terrestrial television), seeing as the signals between the two might cause interference and disruptions to the services.

What to do, what to do, Ofcom and the UK Government pondered until Ed Vaizey MP revealed the latest scheme to distribute "vouchers" to 900,000 UK homes which are likely to be affected (i.e. those who use Freeview).

These "vouchers" will entitle families to get a specialised filter for free, which will serve as a splitter and segregate the signals so that they wouldn't overlap and cause disruptions to the TV services.

If the filter isn't enough, an engineer will visit the premise and do all the necessary changes (check aerials for those with disabilities).

Failing that, the scheme will also support so-called platform changes (i.e. from DTT to cable TV or the newly trending IPTV).

Ed Vaizey MP, Communications Minister, was reported as saying:

"The Government is keen to mitigate the effects of interference, so that no television viewer loses access to television services."

The money for the scheme will come from Ofcom's upcoming 4G spectrum auction.
