Hello,

I've got this problem only on 3 or 4 cable channels. Strange rainbow interference that seems to slowly move left to right across the screen, though never going away.

This effect is seen on most TVs in the house, though it is stronger on some more than others. This photo is from an LCD screen that shares a wall connection through a splitter with an older 21" rear projection TV. The other TV also has the interference but it is much more faint.

Like I said, some rooms have no problems on those stations, and others I see the rainbow.

I have no idea what is causing this. Could it be the wall connection? A problem somewhere else in the house? Outside interference? I know it's not the splitter, as I've tried both screens with and without it plugged to the wall, with the same results. The LCD screen is connected to a computer (using a tuner card), and I've taken the computer to other rooms. In those other rooms the interference still showed up on the LCD.


Thanks for any guidance you may have.
