They use Windows sound some times WW as does Time Team on ABC and History during the later series its flamin annoying.
We haven't been watching tech-head stuff and I recall the noises you mention on Time Team etc.Quote:

WiFi on your TV is picking up digital signal of someone near by using the laptop
No WiFi.
Ghost of Steve Jobs checking out the competitions product?
So your TV isn't digital?? You don't have antenna??Quote:

The television is an LCD unit, but doesn't have an in-built digital receiver. Is it possible that we could be picking up some WiFi computer signal? Whay only on SBS though?Quote:

On a serious note, doesn't SBS use a different band than the others though when viewing analogue? Or are you watching digital? I was watching SBS last night and heard nothing.Quote:

I didn't watch any television last night.

There you have it a receiver device when in the car we use hands free kit often hearing other radio stations over it or others phone conversations :B.
I used to find similar when CB radios were about, in the coaches speakers and antenna would some times pick up the oldies always got a :o.
I said I've heard the noises over the past few weeks. I just wasn't watching television last night.Quote:

Yes I suspect so. Funny I recall when digital came out "we'll have more bandwidth available so cross over never happens" said by some polly.Quote:

I had a digital headset I could plug into the TV, Radio, sound system.and be anywhere in the house or yard. On occassions I'd hear cross over:~
