Not strictly a computer issue but on a regular basis I am getting interference on my radio/tv/ and now computer sound. I am convinced it's not coming from anything in my house but probably one of the neighbours.
Anyone got any brilliant ideas about tracking it down? It's driving my crazy!
It's almost like a radar head scanning but we are nowhere near any radars to my knowledge.

If you are in UK, and it's coming over the radio and TV, you can ask the radio regulatory section of the GPO (or whatever it is called these days!) to investigate, as it is a (probably illegal, although probably unintentional) radio transmitter. Check with the Post Office to see what they call that department these days.

Don't mention the computer sound system to them though, or tape deck/CD player etc as these are not supposed to recieve radio and the "fault" is in the "incorrrectly receiving" device.

(it's not coming from a mobile phone blocker by any chance is it :) )
