I have a serious problem with getting rid of static (noise) from my big flat screen TV on my radio. My radio room is to the side of the TV about 14 feet away. It's bad on certain channels but then again it seems to roam through all channels my radio channels. It can hit up to 6db at times and when the wife is watching TV, I can't hear anything. My Saturn Turbo has good noise rejection but it can't reject this! Any help would be appreciated for what can be done to rid me of this noise beside shutting off the TV.

probably your only choice is to lose the tv or move the radio farther from it .

Thanks for the reply! I can move but darn it won't be fun. TV is a big Sony flat screen that cost me big bucks and I'm sure it will out last than my pain for putting up with the noise.
Would wrapping of the coax around an 8" object (tight and no cross) do me any good? I read somewhere where this helps stop RF going out but not for anything coming in.

i had a large plasma and then one day i started picking up this nose and like you said it just filters thru the channels
then one day the noise stopped and so did the tv.
now i got a LCD and have no problems

Plasma shouldnt be allowed because its a power pig.
Its an RFI generator because it has thousands of wires runing thru the screen with hi-current hi-speed signals.

I've heard that LCD screens would also make a lot of noise. I have two LCD screens right next to my radio gear. Nothing; no problemo. The only thing that offends - is the mouse on my computer.
If you ask me Plasma TV's have been on their way out since near day one and the rumor that LCD's do it to is just that. I would never buy one anyway, even if I didn't have a radio hobby. Hell I've seen rear projection TV's with better picture quality, even LCD's. They are overpriced pieces of technology that everyone thought would rule the market for years to come, boy were they wrong, LCD tech has surpassed Plasmas, long ago. Fact of the matter is the point of them were to get the full benefit from HD picture and not all of them were created equal, Ive seen some used on Satellite that looked horrible, blocky and pixelated. It's too bad that some Standard definition LCD's have horrible HD picture, with everything going that way you may as well spend more money to get a quality HD LCD TV to keep up with the coming times and try to avoid getting inferior models that could possibly cause RFI.
