Re: it's a blur

I hate to sound like a broken record, but make sure all connections are clean & tight. For example, many people have splitters, etc. The connections to this & other wires, need to be checked to ensure they are clean & tight. Q-Tips & some alcohol will work, but there are lots of solvents on the market that do a good job. Make sure you are using good quality spliters, such as those from ChannelMaster, or Monster Cable. Avoid the ones from dollar stores or the cheap ones at Radio Shack/Circuit City, etc.

Do you get this effect all the time, even on DVD? Do you get this effect off your antenna? Then maybe you need to replace the downlead. The stuff tends to break down over time. If it only shows up on cable, then it is likely that there is little or nothing that can be done. Try bugging the cable company, but don't hold your breath.
