Re: TV throwing back electricity to my cable
Hi claydean,
Thanks for the reply -- I'm not sure if that's the problem. I plugged the TV into an outlet on a different circuit in my house, and there's no problem with stray electricity coming out of the TV through the cable. And the lower channels that were "snowy" due to electrical interference are now just fine.
I've been discussing this over on another forum, too: »TV seems to be throwing electricity back to the cable
Anyway, if you've got any other ideas, I'd love to hear 'em!

Where I was going is that it appears that the outlet was using the coax plant to ground. This can happen with poorly wired outlets, poor grounds, or difference in ground potential. The phone, coax, and electrical should always have a common bond to common ground to prevent ground loops. |
