Abertis and Telemadrid denounce the signal interference during Barcelona-Inter

Abertis Telecom and Telemadrid have denounced before the National Police and the General Directorate of Telecommunications the interference in the autonomic signal issued in Channel 63 of TDT from the Nodal Center of Torrespaña during the issuance of the Barcelona-Interf meeting.

Abertis Telecom and Telemadrid have denounced before the National Police the interference produced during the broadcast of the Barça-Inter Encounter, which the regional chain issued on Wednesday. Likewise, they have informed of these facts to the General Directorate of Telecommunications.

The interference, apparently from a powerful analog carrier began minutes before 20.45 and ended around 10.30 pm affecting various areas of Madrid, but not in a homogeneous way. Already on Tuesday, Telemadrid informed Abertis that in its client center complaints from users who had stopped receiving the signal of the regional chain were receiving, problems that disappeared after one hour, approximately.

From the moment in which the problems were recorded in channel 63, which broadcasts the TELMADRID DTT, Abertis Telecom mobilized all its technical means to identify the origin of the interferences that affected the signal of the autonomous channel that is broadcast from Torrespaña and the emitter of Plaza de España. Alcalá de Henares, Chinchón, Boadilla, Pozuelo de Alarcón, Majadahonda or Pinto and the Madrid districts of Centro, Arganzuela, Moncloa, Retiro, Chamberí, Vallecas or Usera were some of the affected areas.

The sources have indicated that interference of a very powerful analog signal that blocked the issuer of the Plaza de España were recorded.

Abertis detected and recorded the characteristics of the interfering signal, which were not coinciding with the coverage of any center of the diffusion network, confirming that the origin of the interference was foreign to the Abertis emissions themselves and that it was an external signal that ended two minutes before the end of the game. Abertis is currently carrying out measurements and spectrum monitoring to identify whether interference is repeated.
