This is weird, Saturday it had "waves", I left the box on for the past 2
days, and now all is good.
No waves on either tuner..... I did disassemble my HT system, and am in the
process of reassembling it.
(Relocating gear, amps etc). Could this be interference from one of the
cables or poor shielding on a piece of gear?
Tivo
DVD Player
Pre-Amp
AMP (x2)
XBOX
CD Player
Xantech IR System
Will keep the group updated, if it shows up again....
HUH?
