tell me why this happens:

- I have cable tv.

- My cable tv has HD

- When my Blackberry is sending/receiving email, it screws up my HD.

So, how does my Blackberry interfere with HDTV from cable when I don't have a HD box or a dish????

Inquiring minds gotta know.....

Easy.....your cable TV receiver has some sort of wireless receiver/ transmitter so the cable company can film you in the comfort of your home.

It's a new video capture technique where your TV can actually film you.

The RF from the blackberry is interfering with the TV, not the cable feed.

That simple, eh? I figured since it was hardwired in, RF interference wouldn't be an issue......

It's messin' with my Olympics!!!

t.g. hit it on the head.

the source is "shielded", and unless there is a break in that shield, ie; loose connector, push on jumpers, chews in the cable, or just faulty cable, (some cables have only a few copper shielding strands, copper being a BAD shielding material), the t.v. is most likely at fault. most t.v.'s are shielded to a point, but not totaly.

check for the above shielding faults before throwing bricks at your t.v.............

We are not allowed to have cell phones in the 911 center I work at - they tend to interfere with the radio systems...

Stranger still - our new 400mHz trunked radios will shut down your phone if keyed too close to the headset jack...

RF is a funny thing.

Did you have your foil helmet on when sending? Well there you go.
