Only the really annoying chavved scooters or the real old skool vespa things, the noisy ones basicly.

Whenever they go past I get fuzzy lines on my telly, just wondering if anybody knows why? It's not just my telly, it happens to everybody else in my house too (shared house) I think everybody uses terrestrial telly if it makes any difference?

cheers

Wideband RF transmission from the unshielded spark plug basically jams the TV UHF signal. Wrap the offending machines in tin foil to stop it. Thumbs Up

Its annoying isn't it mine is still doing it every time one goes past, although it mainly seems to be the sound that is effected. I get like a second or two where it goes mute.

I do ride a Vespa though so can't get too angry about it Laughing

As said above an open spark jams radio signals. You disable all wifi and bluetooth in a room with a battery and a paperclip Wink
