PVR 350 Interference on COAX? Help!
My setup:
I have cable coming from the wall, going to a 4 way splitter: Link I have one of the outputs going to a cable box and directly to the TV (Composite) (no PVR) I have a 150 hooked up to my Cable box (Composite) and controlled through the serial port. I have a 350 hooked up directly to the cable; Coax. (No STB) The 2 cable box inputs work fine. The one directly to the TV looks fine. The one to the PVR looks fine too. No problems. The problem is the cable going to the 350 directly through Coax. The picture is unusable. It skips allover the place and when it isn't skipping there are distortions all throughout it. I've hooked this same cable up directly to the TV and the image looks fine. I've also unhooked the splitter and hooked the main TV feed directly into the 350 and that looks just as distorted as the original setup. I have also tried various Coax cables I have lying around (from CableCo, RadioShack, others that came with other products, etc.) None are any better than the others. My guess is that there is intereference from the PC causing the distortion, but I very well could be wrong. Any ideas on how I can fix this? I am out of ideas. Thanx Last edited by Snuffy2; 05-10-2006 at 07:52 PM.

Are you sure the 350 is configured for cable and not antenna? I don't use a 350 so I'm not sure if it is even possible to mistakenly set it up.

I recently had a PC with a bad power supply - it generated huge amounts of RF noise - even heard it in the garage on the car's AM radio. PC off, noise gone.
I replace the power supply with a more expensive one (all are from China, you know). Cured. The bad one seems bad by design, despite the CE/FCC labels on it.

OK I figured it out. I'm oblivious and didn't put 2 & 2 together.
I came back from a weekend vacation and my HTPC wouldn't boot. I looked into it a bit more and figured out my video card had fried. I ordered a new one and used the built in MBoard one temporarily. Well it apparently fried the PVR 350 as well (or possibly Vice Versa). Interestingly enough, it didn't fry the PVR 150 which sits between the 350 and the video card. Anyway, it's removed and a new nVidia DualTV is on it's way to replace 350. Thanx
