[QUOTE="Taipan, post: 43041, member: 11681"] One thing you might try (I have read elswhere of this solving a similar problem) is to connect the outer braid (the shield) of your TV lead-in cable to a really good earth - is there a buried copper water pipe (garden tap) near where the cable comes through the window that you could connect it to? It really sounds like the TV coax shield is not tied to a really good "ground" or earth point. If you don't have a suitable earth point nearby, then get a copper earth stake from an electician's supply store (they are about 50cm long) and drive that into the ground and connect the shield of the coax to that. As Paranoid Delusion says - sounds like you need to get an electrician to check the mains earthing too. [/QUOTE]
