Ed,   This assumption that you antenna caused interference  is not an unsual 
phenominum.  I had an instance where a neighbor  on the next road over came to  
our home claiming the antennas  9 Yagi antennas on 4 towers had captured all 
the TV signals in our area and her TV signal  was almost just snow because of 
it.  I and my wife listened to her complaint    and I tried unsuccessfully  to 
explain  A:  TV signals  are not attracted to my antennas like a magnet  B: the 
 TV broadcast signals   are not near the current commercial broadcast 
frequency’s  ( to no avail ) I offered to come over to  there home and examine 
there installation.

  Apon my arrival it was at first asseratained there home was not using over 
the air broadcast TV BUT Cable TV !!!!
  In inspection in the basement the owner and son tried to become cable TV 
distrabution engineeres.   Unseccesfully IMHO
 After removing not 3 but 4    3 way spliters and 8  uncompleted un crimped  
connectors . After a trip to my home and returning with the proper tools I 
reconfigured and  MESS and installed the  un fastened ground  wire   at the 
entrance block.. WOW and  all  read  SEVEN TV’s and  one gaming console ??
Now   had a acceptable siginal

This happened during the height of the 2nd  Golf War and her husband was in the 
service and in the Theater . As a VET  prompted me to go above and beyond

GO figure

LOL....I had a similar instance....my beam is on a hazer on a 50 ft tower..I 
could crank it up, and almost immediately get a call from my one neighbor about 
interference to his tv, even though I wasn’t on the air.....yet I could operate 
with it cranked down ( think closer to his house !) and never hear a peep from 
him....
