Hi,

I have noticed over the years that television interference problems "seem"
to be reported in the UK a lot.  Is there something different about the UK
that makes TV's more susceptible to RFI than us over here?  Maybe we have
more cable TV here or something like that?  TV interference in the UK also
seems to be harder to fix?  Different frequencies, AC wiring, closer
neighbors...

Just curious if there is some reason...

Cheers,

	Terry
