Hmm..I don't think I can do much about the cable in my house, I can
update the cables running from my wall jack to my mythbox. Grounding
seems like something fairly easy to try. Its not the tuner card's
fault really, the TV's on their own are worse.

My other option is to just stick it out till feburary 19h
