[TenTec] TVI 95% Shield

[Ron Castro]

Almost all of the digital stations are on UHF, so the problems won't be 
quite as bad, especially on 6 meters.  Just choke all the wires going in or 
out of the TV set and AV receiver if there is one, and that should kill all 
the problems.

Don't worry though...when the neighbors find out that they can't get The 
Food Channel, The Golf Channel or The Mud Wrestling Channel, they'll be back 
to cable in no time!
