I am having some problem's with tv out on a GeForce 6600, as well as a Radeon 9800 Pro....

Same problem with both Video cards.....

I, tried using an s-video cable, I also tried using a yellow rca cable.... Same problem....

In an attempt to see if it is a problem with the TV, I plugged a dvd player into the same s-video jack and it was fine, so I also tried a nintendo gamecube into the yellow rca and it was fine....

It only appears to be a problem when the computer is plugged in...

OK so the problem is that there is a very wide bright band that slowly scrolls up the screen.... The band is about a third of the screen, and it takes about a minute to scroll up the screen, and then it repeats....

It almost looks like a problem with horizontal sync is not correct, but I always thought that would be autodetected.....
 
No I only have one...

But If I plug in something else into either the s-video jack or the yellow rca jack it runs fine...

The only thing that I have problems with is the computer, despite differnt video cards, despite cables....

I'm stumped....
 
Well an RF modulator made a big difference.. Not perfect, but it did help alot....

So I'm thinking that the signal coming from the video card is prolly not strong enough, or maybe the cable is getting interference.....

So I'm gonna go and get a better RF modulator, and a nice sheilded copper monster cable or something like that.... I'll let ya'll know tomorrow how it turns out....

Do you guys think that the power supply might not be giving enough juice? It's an Enemax 465 watt supply.... Maybe that is why the signal is weak? I haven't noticed any stability problems or anything, but I did notice that ever since I plugged in the TV, the monitor seems to be flickering noticably....

Just a question to make sure that I'm getting the proper solution....
 
I don't reckon the power supply should be the problem.
Prehaps as you suggested some kind of interferance, especially if it happens with other graphics cards.
 
This also happens to me. Though my TV has a D-Sub input on the front.

I think the problem is the fact that the PC and the TV are plugged into the same power strip, becuase even if I wasn't using the PC input, that band showed up on the TV no matter what.
 
That's worth a shot... I'll try it out and see how she goes....

Ialso have the TV plugged into the same power strip as thecomputer... Interesting....

Thanks....
 
Nope... Changin to a different power outlet didnt help...

Both power outlets are on the same breaker though there is no way for me to change that...

I dont know..... I think since I've gotten the best results using an RF modulator, I'll still go that route...

But If anybody knows what the cause if this problem is, I'd be glad to hear it...
 
All right guys I figured it out....

I feel like a dill hole... It was incredibly simple... I over looked it...

All I had to do was plug the cable line from the wall jack into a surge protector...

I already had the power outlet plugged into a surge protector but not the cable (as in cable company).... Once I did that the problem completely went away....
