Hi Phil & group,
Thank you for the responses. As I tried to explain, sometimes the
bars were more dispursed and didn't affect the picture -- that's how it
was
when the cable guy left - but they drew them selves down to about 2" and
were much more pronounced (affecting picture)that afternoon. Today I
tried
something - probably the first thing I should have thought of - I simply
disconnected the coax input to the cable box - problem went completely
away - nice clean gray screen with absolutely no bars! When I hook the
input from the cable company back to the cable company tuner - bam, the
problem is back (with the tuner turned off ) - green and magenta bars
traveling up the screen! Even thought the cable dude brought a computer
and said that the signal was OK - I'm quite certain the interferance is
coming down the line. I suspect when I show them this the next time,
they'll realize that it IS coming down the line -- the cable dude saw the
lines (dispursed) on both cable boxes but didn't know what the problem
was.
Thanks
again / any thoughts? Ed
