You can wire the antenna itself into the same room as tv2 eliminating the problem altogether

There's a diagram for that and some other methods at EKB: UHF Remote Range Extenders

I think I found the issue.. its an uhf interference issue with my new 60 inch sharp LCD TV.. When I turn the TV "Off" the problem goes away..Is there a solution other than moving the Antenna off the satellite box? According to the VIP322 book.. I need a 10dB UHF attenuator..anybody Know where I can find one of those?

1. Move the receiver away from TV
2. Use diagram already provided.
3. Take TV back and get a Plasma...better picture and no interference.

1. No can do..

2. Looking for UHF attenuator

3. Plasma's don't work well in a room with a lot of light

Attach the UHF antenna to 6-8 ft of cable and move it away from the TV. Ebay has attenuators for ~$5 or if you have a 100' for old RG59 that would give you about 10db attenuation too.
