expensive my butt!
If you are not entirely a lazy person, upgrade all your cable yourself.
Now if you are one of those most unfortunate people who have the old school 300ohm ribbon cable, its not hard to see why distortion is so easily induced in your tv signal. Similarly can be said of dodgy RG59 coax and poor connectors etc.
My advice. Rip out all the existing cable and replace with RG6 QUAD SHIELD coax. This is the crud used for foxtel, optus, and satellite. Pinch a crimping tool off someone if you can and change all the connectors to the "F-type" (as with foxtel etc). If you can't get a crimping tool then stick with regular PAL TV plugs. If you have any splitters replace them also.
Cable worth $1.75p/m
plugs less than $2.00ea
Splitters less than $10.00ea
Hardly expensive
