The engineer is coming out on Tuesday am and I would like to know if I should move the phone!
The DECT phones RF can certainly cause havoc with the STB.
Another alternative could be the box over heating if its in a confined space. However if the DECT handset is that close it sounds like the favourite for the cause.
