The Digital providers claim most of the interference is picked up in the antenna leads. I'm guessing any point where the shielding doesn't work properly. Till we get completely switched to Digital in an area probably not worth worrying about, as the increased broadcast power after switch over may resolve the issue sufficiently. But ultimately Digital TV will give a worse picture quality (if you had an excellent picture before). It also will result in increased electricity consumption decoding all those digital signals. The upside if you get more channels. It is a broadcast technology, driven by the broadcasters, I suspect if the viewers had the downsides explained to them early on they would have said "why bother?". I think I'm getting interference between my remote controls in the infra-red as well - sigh - fortunately the remote control settings are programmable to address this. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
