Technology / Why does my DVD player interfere with digital TV reception?

Thanks for your help everybody.
Just a few comments back - the house is only a 4 years old so hopefully the wiring is OK and the aerial was installed specifically for Freeview last year. The reason I originally got the engineer back was because I thought the antenna may have moved in high winds; in retrospect the reception may have gradually degraded over the three months which prompts the following question -
I've now tried running the DVD player as far away as the various leads will allow and there were no ill effects. Is it likely that any magnets in the DVD/CD players would affect the picture and that this is something that could build up over time?
If this was the case, is there any way of protecting the PVR from the effect?
Thanks again
