"Calling all cars... Please interfere with Shiva's cable TV reception."

Factual Questions
1

So I’m trying to watch the Penguins/Sabres game on ESPN, but every time a local cop or his dispatcher makes a radio call the reception goes to hell.

Channels 16-19 are all affected, with 19 being the worst-- I can actually hear what they’re saying when I’m on 19, and the picture is almost obliterated. The other channels just get black and white diagonal lines on top of the picture.

I assume this is because the cops are using either the same or a nearby frequency. Is there some sort of RF filter or choke I can install to minimize this?

Go Pens!

Let the cable company know. They will fix it or see that the cop shop fixes it.

Ah, I should have mentioned that I’m trying to avoid involving the cable company in this, if you get my drift. :wink:

Damn cops won’t let you steal anything these days!
