How do I stop electrical interference?

[aswedc]

I have an old TV in my bedroom. It connects to video sources with a RF modulator. When my PC is on, the picture gets super fuzzy. When the Xbox 360 is on, it gets kind of fuzzy. The PS2 doesn't do it. How do I sheild the TV from this problem while keeping the devices in the same room?

edit, fixed!

Buy a new TV.

Should have figured I'd get answers like this :roll:. I have a really expensive HDTV in my living room, so I don't need anyone else telling me my e-penis is too small, thanks.

Do you have them all plugged into a power strip or UPS?

I've tried connecting the TV to a different circuit in the house so it's actually the devices, not power draw.

I stand by my answer. Old TV's aren't worth keeping. A new TV with better inputs for a bedroom isn't very expensive.

I just grabbed a piece real quick and wrapped it around the RF modulator, and it worked! Thought I'd have to put it around the whole TV or something, lol. Thanks again.

Well however much it is, I just saved it. Good thing I didn't listen to you

Also something to consider if the tinfoil doesn't completly solve it is putting a ferous nugget on the line in.

just for future reference, what's that? Ferrous = iron? Hows one get a nugget form?
