Has anyone ever experienced this? Whenever our microwave is running the picture on my tv goes nuts..If the air is on with other appliances running such as a washing machine or dryer i get white lines and/or a scrambled picture..I have tried different types of surge suppressors as well as plugging into other outlets and it doesnt go away..do I need something strorger like a power conditioner? It gets to a point that in summer the tv is basically unwatchable when the air is running and we are washing clothes..something that is basically a daily occurrence in our household..any suggestions???

Yes, sure... those kind of "****" happen everyday, get a power conditioner, it will definitely help. I install the MC HTS 5000 a year ago and I've been happy with its performance, never have any more interferences, sound is crystal clear, picture on TV is perfect, this piece of equipment also have a separate plug-ins for digital and analog equipment... Cheers

Is your TV signal off-air, cable or DSS?

off of satellite..

That's the problem. Microwave signal causes pixelization and audio breakup. Not sure why you are getting this from A/C though. It got so bad on mine it blew the high-end from the right speaker and overloaded my AV amp and finally affected that. I solved it by going to digital cable then buying new Polks and Denon receiver (actually I wanted them anyway - this was just an excuse). Try a better grade of cable, grounding the cable better (not both ends - that will create a ground loop), Reroute the cable further from the microwave, new microwave, etc.
