Loud Buzzing during commercials

posted by Stinky1 on Dec 19, 2007


Hi - I have a Mitsubishi TV about 7 years old with cable - I have had cable in to fix the very loud buzzing that occurs mostly (99%) during the commercials. Time Warner has been unsuccessful so far and one guy advised that maybe I needed some gadget to filter out whatever is causing the interference however, I need to know what that gadget could be. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

If you are like us here in UK- that TV aint going to get fixed or if they can they will charge nearly the same as for a new one.
The loud buzzing from what you described is from the Line Ouput Transformer[LOPTI] on its last legs, it generates anything up to 20,000volts and ain't to be messed with.
Christmas is coming - go treat yourself.
