    Problems with 8' 2-tube fluorescent hung from ceiling interfering with HDTV cable signal, cable runs along floor parallel (no other route possible) 14' then cants away 6' then perpendicular 14' then up the wall to TV.

    Original cable thought to be the problem, once RG58 then RG59, then most channels resolved after omitting some interim connectors, then replaced entire route with

    Coaxial Cable (50 Feet) with F-Male Connectors - Ultra Series by Mediabridge - Tri-Shielded UL CL2 In-Wall Rated RG6 Digital Audio / Video - Includes Removable EZ Grip Caps (Part# CJ50-6BF-N1 )

     

    Today discovered a channel that only works when fluorescent is turned off, same problem as prior.

     

    The Tri-Shielded was rated by many as better than quad.

     

    NOW I am shopping for external cable or ballast shields to employ and ... kitchen aluminum foil is NOT it (doesn't work)

     

    How about this
