The fan is probably producing a massive amount of interference which is why the TV and the DAB reception is interrupted. You can get this effect with turning on or off an electrical switch nearby as well. You may try relocating the fan (or source of interference) with respect to the radio or TV. Regards.

It was only £6 from pC World. However we noticed at my son's house that when he turned on the fan it messed up his tV reception. I have just switched mine on and it mutes or turns off my Pure digital radio. Any ideas why this is happening? I was going to take it to work tomorrrow but a bit worried If I might bring down the whole computer system, lol. Regards Graham -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
