Hi guys.The picture I get on my TV in my home theater system is full of RF waves and other annoying artifacts. I know it is not from the AC supplying the TV since it is plugged into a high end line conditioner. Is there any item on the market (ie a video line conditioner) that connects to the coaxial F-type CATV cable coming from my wall and attenuates RFI from the video signal? Will it degrade picture quality? Do you think that a ferrite clamp around the CATV cable would help or degrade the picture? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Rob

Sounds li ingress to me. HAve the cable company tighten up the system, maybe even replace your drop to the house with double shielded coax. Are you connecting the cable directly to the television ie is your cable converter built into the set?
I had the same problem, but it was caused by AC ground-loops on the cable. It is a very common problem when you connect cable to an audio system. I solved it with Jensen's transformer designed specifically for that. It is about $50, and there are cheaper ways out, but the Jensen is the "right" way to go. Good luck! http://www.jensen-transformers.com/vr1ff.html
