John,

First, some simple questions:
~ (a) Is the computer grounded 3-wire plug and all?
~ (b) Cable, Antenna, Satellite dish?
~ (c) Using a splitter?
~ (d) Properly crimped cables being used?
~ (e) Type of TV card? ISA, PCI, etc.

Thanks for the help!

(a) Yes
(b) Cable
(c) Yes, 2
(d) commercially made cables, I hope they're properly crimped
(e) PCI, no brand chinese junk, Philips chip

I plugged the cable into a TV, and the picture looks fine on all channels. So I think the noise is being added by the computer.

Regards,

John
