Discussion

LAB2004 (asker) May 2, 2013:
Many thanks to everyone. I agree with DrsPaul that it seemed strange that one Dutch term should be given in a list of English terms, but, having checked with the client, it did in fact mean interruption (and also interference elsewhere in the document).
Henk Sanderson Apr 29, 2013:
More Dutch: Programma, PB51 (Postbus 51); the other English terms are often used in Dutch commercial texts
Paul Hulsman (X) Apr 29, 2013:
Suggestion in a different direction In view of the context, I would rather opt for 'opslag' ('Storing' in the sense of 'Storage', also because it seems odd that one Dutch word should appear in a string that is wholly English)
Marijke Singer Apr 25, 2013:
Already in English? merchandising?
Kirsten Bodart Apr 25, 2013:
It could also be 'fault' but then the receiver should have a problem, which is rare. I don't think it would form a separate category.
I would also go with interruption.
Henk Sanderson Apr 25, 2013:
Viewing habits... ... For types of programs can only be recorded if you can record the type of program as well. This is not possible for interference, as it is not transmitted by the sender, but is created locally in or near the receiver
Michael Beijer Apr 25, 2013:
~ I suspect that you might be right and that it means a period of interference.
