[plug] TV interference (otopic)

[Len Bird]

Hi Darrell,

Further to my earlier response, I note that you got a bagfull of advisce on
the subject, which I did not get round to reading before responding. One
point that I an others overlooked, is that TV interference is really a
problem of competing signal strengths, so have a look at your TV antenna
and cabling, you may have to renew them, and further to that an antenna
signal booster in the line may do the trick,

Cheers   Len Bird
