If I change the component to a S-VHS cable the interferance is gone but the colors are less quality. The weird thing is that when I used a less quality coax cable from my dish to my receiver the interferance was much less then with my new more expensive and "supposely better" coax cable. Any ideas why this is? |

S video is best but, does not carry the sound so makes it confusing to use. Coax cable would never be better than RCA..RCA is the 3 plugs on one ribbin cable, one yellow (video), one red (right sound), and one white (left sound). Hope this helps you let us know |

Silver Member Username: SaturationPost Number: 142 Registered: Jun-06 | Electricity could be the problem, the outlet I'm using doesn't have any ground. But it's weird only the component signal is affected. How exactly does a "power bar" work? Do I need ground for it? |

Now you can fight this one of 2 way's. First off you can track down the source and stop it. Second off you can find out how the interferance is getting into the TV. The most likly way it is getting their is a bad connection or bad coax. This is why RCA jacks are best as they are far less likly to get interferance. If they are getting interferance I would try another set of cables first, then try another thing with RCA on that tv (re:VCR). then try RCA with that receiver on another TV. Hope that helps my point is I feel its your coax and you should use RCA |
