[RFI] Spectrum Cable Boxes

[Clay Autery]

I can GUARANTEE you that that box is using a switch mode power supply 
(SMPS).

IF it is external, it is ALMOST a trivial exercise to determine the 
proper voltage and amperage requirements and supply it with clean DC 
current....

It WILL be a lot quieter with the SMPS gone....  now, the ROUTER inside 
the unit will also be making a racket as well.... that requires some 
additional RFI "trickery" to defeat.... but it IS doable.

There may be a switched mode power supply on that device or another one on another customer that is creating and conducting the noise.  Also, do this with no other cables connected to the cable box and first add the hdmi, then the cable feed.
