Help-Line in my RPTV-need conditioner for HT

Have you ever NOT had the lines? Have you tried swapping in another TV...just any other TV in the house to see if the lines are present?

If you have no lines on the replacement TV, then it's your RPTV.

Really, though, isn't this all an excuse to validate your purchase of the BPT 3.5 sig? :)

Tvad, you are funny, no excuse here for purchase. I have an elite HD530 in my bedroom, same 127v current, no lines. My HT room is on the same level of my utlily room, and next to the utlilty rom in the garage. I think it is in the lines. I have also had the techs over from tweeter to calibrate, and check the set out. Now, may be they are lying to me(I hope not)OK, maybe it is a minor excuse. I am searching.....HELP

Try unplugging your cable TV from the wall, so that there is absolutely no cable TV connection, and see if the lines go away. A ground loop problem with your cable can cause strange visual effects.

Wait, are you saying that plugging the gear into a powerbar reduces the lines? If so then you might be right about your power, otherwise I would check the signal cables first. And why not buy a long extension cord or something and plug the TV into another outlet to see if anything changes? Or at least try to get a powerconditioner to try out with a return policy. But if you're rich, then ya don't worry and just buy the BPT and tell us if it fixes anything.

I tried 4 regular outlets and 2 recently dedicated,(no improvement) I do find some improvement with the powervar, but there are still times I get the frigging lines, plus I can tell my picture gets sucky at times. By this I meen the saturation of colors on my screen seem real hazy, non dimensional. I know this TV should have a great picture, and I want it to run at it's best. No, I am not rich, but I just bought a BPT 3.5 sig off audiogon (reasonable)and hope that solves this issue, along with making both my systems sound better. I get impatient, yaknow.
