Directv cabling and electrical breaker panel

[twolcott]

My RG6 runs within inches of the my main breaker panel main feed line. Would this have any negative effects on the signal quality? Picture seems ok.. but something just isn't quite right.. I checked and sealed all the connections, replaced the wall jack with high frequency connectors and it had some incremental help but the picture is just plain off.. Esp non-HD.. Grass , for example, if watching golf is clear if the camera is not moving but then the camera moved it all blurrs badly... lot of artifacts around some images , esp ads.. things like that

Thats DirecTV for you! It's most likely D* compression but you might want to move the cables if possible to prevent interference.

you sealed the connections and replaced the barrel connectors with 3 gig items, and you SAW an improvement in PQ.... ????????

 

[twolcott]

Seemed like an improvement.. somewhat.. hence the 'incremental'

I've ran analog cable lines near electrical breakers without problems. If you have problems then there's probably a break in the aluminum shielding somewhere in your line.

how is your receiver hooked up to the TV?

 

[twolcott]

svid and component.. both monster

you may be getting interference from the ac, most likely though the interferance would show up as hum across the lines. the coaxial cable should not be run parallel to the ac unless it is 18 inches from it and terminates across it in a relative 90 degree bend.

Is your coax "Quad Shield Coax Cable" if not might be worth trying, lots more shielding.
