TV static

We are in Yuma and with the cool weather here we are using the furnace. However, when the furnace kicks in we get alot of static on the TV (sound & picture). All the cable connections are tight. Any ideas ?

    And one on the television's power cord.

  • Nope, mine does similar when I turn on the vent fan in the bathroom. The television in the living room begins to go goofie. The one in the bed room does not.

    I figure it's just an electronic interference. I can turn the fan off. It's a little harder to turn the furnace off in the winter! Good luck. No idea. But the subject has come up before. Folks talk about putting gizmos on their cable and electric lines. I'm sure someone will have the answer.

    There's always DVD's you can watch!
