    I was going to join an A/V forum to post this, but I thought I would give bit a go first as I know a lot of you guys know a bit or two about TVs/freeview etc etc, so...

    Occasionally when I use my PC, my freeview gets jumpy.

    If the PC is idling it usually isn't an issue, but when I do anything, ie open firefox/msn it can jump/freeze.

    I am just wondering if anyone knows the exact cause, is this actual interference or something to do with power draw?

    If it is the power then I can't really do anything about it as all my stuff runs on one triple socket in my room.

    If it is interference I assume I can attempt to shield it, but how would I go about doing this.

    The coax runs basically right behind the PC, but even when they where on different sides of the room, I had this issue.

    Oh I forgot to add, it is worse on ITV/CH4 channels, watching dave now it is flawless.
