In Reply to: Horizontal line cycling on S-Video only posted by bibey on December 29, 2000 at 23:35:15:
Silly question, these wouldn't happen to be plugged into different electrical outlets would they? By this I mean two different duplex
outlets, I realize they can't physically share the same plug.This almost seems like it's a ground loop, and the line moving is the video equivalent of a 60 cycle hum.
Just something to fiddle around with.
Regards,

They are both plugged into the same surge suppressing power strip.
Is the cable TV input plugged directly into the TV or are you also taking it through the Monster Unit?The path should be:
Cable company feed --> Monster 3500 ---> TV
I thought I answered this earlier today, but apparently my brain isn't functioning properly.
Regards,
Thanks for your input..... it's great having someone else to throw some ideas. When you said try switching the plugs around, and when that didn't have any effect I started switching around the inputs to the t and viola...I found my problem.... in addition to the normal cable input, my tv accepts 2 RCA inputs and one s-video. I had been using 1 RCA input for my satellite dish and the other for my vcr. RCA video 2 was producing the interference. Once I disconnected it, viola, interference gone. Unfortunately, I won't be able to use that video input on my tv, but that's ok since I run everything (except the new DVD) through a Channel Plus home distribution system.
Thanks again for your ideas
