tv tuner noise bars

I have a little page that was originally published by the FCC. They pulled it, so I reproduced it. Take a look and tell us which picture looks like the "noise bars" you are complaining about. Then look at what they say is the cause. It will help work out your problem. I have used several ATI TV cards with no trouble.

Dump the analog junk and go digital. In 18 months analog TV goes away anyway.

For the non experienced person, the work indicated is too delicate, and there is risk to damage the card. I would suggest finding someone in your area who is used to soldering on to SMD devices, and has the very fine soldering tools to do so.

If you accidentally short any pins or have any static discharge to any part of the circuit board, there is a chance you can damage components on the circuit board. Then you will have to buy a new card.

there is a mod that can be done to one of the chips to isolate it against noise. I don't know much about electronics, but would like to give this mod a try. Anyone able to give a clearer explanation of whats involved and/or able to link to a site with a tutorial or explanation of something similar (with pictures)

Thanks
