Are you SURE it's not bad cabling? I haven't seen exactly this before, but I got rid of something very similar, by exchanging cabling AND end plugs. It's possible to get RF-shielded full-metal end-plugs. These helped me alot. Apart from that, you should be aware that most tv-tuners for computers (especially bttv cards) are much more sensitive to noise, compared to regular tvs. If neither of those applies, I don't know what it is. Good luck :) -- Regards, Christian Iversen
