| 717581 | 2008-11-05 08:18:00 | Had that problem before. Solution was a mains line filter to stop the rf interference getting back into your power wiring. Surge protectors are there to (maybe) save your ps in the event of a mains power surge. * Also make sure your ps is earthed - i.e. the metal of the ps should be connected through the green wire in the 3core flex to the earth pin on the mains plug. Hopefully your wall socket is correctly earthed. |

| 717582 | 2008-11-05 08:45:00 | I think the main problem is that your computer lacks punctuation, that's the longest sentence (outside of a lawyer's office) that I've seen in recent years. That aside, what are you using as an aerial for the TV? If it is on a single whip or rabbit ears it will probably be direct radiation and hard to cure. It is highly unlikely to be conducted interference via the power cord because both the computer and the TV have filters on their power input circuits to stop interference getting out and they are equally effective at stopping it getting in. TV is transmitted on three bands, Low (Chs 1, 2 & 3) High (Chs 4-9) and UHF (the rest). Interference is most commonly found on Low Band and the affected channels tend to indicate the source. What channels are affected on your TV? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 717585 | 2008-11-06 07:47:00 | Try having Directv swap out your decoder | apsattv (7406) | ||
| 717586 | 2008-11-06 10:06:00 | No shift or caps lock key on that keyboard either, I'd say :eek: Yes, very hard to read without any punctuation etc. :) |
