While Polish viewers have raised concerns regarding signal coverage, Czech authorities report that the transmitter disrupts their domestic radio frequencies.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports from the Czech public radio portal digital.rozhlas.cz, the Jelenia G\u00f3ra \u015anie\u017cne Kot\u0142y facility is causing significant signal issues reaching up to 180 kilometers from the transmitter, impacting reception stability even within the Czech capital.<\/p>\n<h4>Claims of excessive signal strength<\/h4>\n<p>Jir\u00ed Ducha\u010d of the Czech Telecommunication Office (\u010cT\u00da) claims that previous notifications sent to the Polish side have gone unaddressed. The German industry portal digitalfernsehen.de described the situation as a transboundary frequency dispute, noting that Czech operators allege the signal strength exceeds agreed-upon parameters.<\/p>\n<p>\u010cT\u00da measurements indicate that the directional attenuation limit was exceeded by an average of 20 dB. While the technical cause remains unconfirmed, the Polish regulator has initiated its own investigative proceedings.<\/p>\n<h4>Official response from Emitel and the UKE<\/h4>\n<p>Hubert Kifner, PR director at Emitel, the operator responsible for MUX-8, insists that emissions from the Jelenia G\u00f3ra station are conducted strictly in accordance with the radio permit issued by the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE) on March 31, 2025. The company confirms it is cooperating with the UKE and has submitted the requested explanations.<\/p>\n<p>Agnieszka Sobucka, spokesperson for the UKE, denies that Czech complaints were ignored. The UKE received the notification in April and has begun verification and control procedures. The office emphasizes that it is too early to determine the exact cause of the interference and notes that inter-agency cooperation on frequency management remains active.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poland and the Czech Republic are locked in a formal dispute over signal interference from the MUX-8 transmitter at Jelenia G\u00f3ra \u015anie\u017cne Kot\u0142y, which reportedly affects radio reception as far as Prague.
