Hi Sam, there are several people reporting TV interference normally centered around TV Channel 6 or 7. I have not heard anyone post a successful fix yet for this specific problem. I Also have 2 customers reporting TV problems. One is my neighbor and one is a customer.

Hi Everyone Here's one I haven't seen here before..... I am in the process of expanding into a new town. The company who's tower I'm using for my APPO is telling me that when my APPO is powered on it interferes with their TV reception - specifically channel 7 (VHF). I don't know how 2.4 GHz would bother channel 7 (which is what, 140 MHz?) but I know the guy who owns the tower, and he woudn't make this up. Plus he is sharp with computers/electronics. If he unplugs the power to the APPO the signal instantly clears up. Plug the APPO back in and channel 7 becomes unviewable. This is important because his business is a TV store and he uses the off-air signal (channel 7) to demo new televisions to his customers. The tower is set up like this: | My Omni Antenna | | 10 feet | ------- His TV Antenna | | | 60 feet | | | | Building with TVs for sale in it ------------------------------- My omni antenna is horizontally polorized, 12 dB. There are no amps on my stuff. Are there any filters I can get or anything I can do to help prevent this? I can move my antenna to a different location in town as a last resort, but I'd really like to keep it where it's at. But the guy's main business where it's at now is selling televisions, and leaving it as-is is not an option. Would putting the TV antenna above the omni make any difference? Is there anything else I can to to prevent the interference? Thanks Everyone! Sam Update: I also found out that I'm knocking out Channel 7 all over the town. (One of my APs is on the local television tower.....) If I can't fux this I'll have to move that one too, and that would be devastating. :(
