[TenTec] OT: RFI from Plasma TV?

[Ron Castro]

Bernie, I keep hearing about all the awful RFI from plasmas, but I have a 
50" Pioneer plasma that's no more than 25' from the base of the tower and 
have never had even the mildest RFI from it.  Not only that, but at full 
power, there is no interference to the plasma from the radios on any band. 
The Onkyo 5.1 Surround Sound system that I added after I got the set got 
really bad RFI from 20 meters, but some torroids on each of the speak leads, 
the power cord (including the separate cord on the sub-woofer) and cable 
connection cleared it up 100%.

BTW, if you haven't experienced HDTV on a good plasma screen with Surround 
Sound and with good quality 1080i source material (Discovery Channel HD, 
National Geo HD, etc.) you're in for a real treat...you'll never go back to 
analog!
