I have an Amiga computer that causes some very serverse interference with
the "family television" whenever it's on.  On channels 2, 3, and 4 
(only!), you get a LOT of white snowwy type interference.  It's hard to
tell for sure, but it looks like the intereference might resemble the
Amigas screen.
 
Interference is worse on channel 2 (HBO :-( ) getting a little better on 3 and
4.  As far as I can tell, no other channel is affected.
 
So... where does the interference come from?  And how can I eliminate it?
I've heard that it could be either RF interference or power line interference.
How can I tell?
 
My thanks to anyone who can help.  Please respond to the net or to
kolstad@cae.wisc.edu.
