72Mhz is down around channels 1-5 on the US cable system, and time
warner doesn't use them for any digital stations.  The DOCSIS channel is
up in the eighties, around 580MHz.  

The encrypted digital channels (Non-OTA) start much higher up too -
400-600MHz.

I'm not sure how a 72mhz transmitter would interfere directly, but 
obviously something is going on.  Crap cable + crap rf in the tuner
getting saturated maybe.
