Right! Makes sense. Technology really is a double edged sword...

Squiggly what about electrical pollution ? Does working in a 100k warehouse mess you up for real or does all the power not matter?

I cut my AM radio on in my house, with the ballasts, and I heard nothing out of the ordinary. MGG

I went through the whole "cable TV" thing as well. they kept shutting me off and saying I was sending RF back into their lines....
Had the guy here 3X. Said the wiring in my 24 year old house was out of date and i needed to rewire. Yeah..sure thing..for TV. Right. I'll get right on that.
Instead, i unhooked everything and ran a new drop direct from the ped to the TV (I used to be a cable guy in another lifetime). Called em back...they came...said NO intereference. A week later...they shut me off again and another CLOWN came to the door complaining I was screwing up their system...
This guy was a grower. LOL He told me it wasn't my digi ballasts...they are like 5hhz and the calbe runs higher Hz than that. (30-50?) Said all was well...
A week later...they shut me off again. this time i called and simply told them to FUCK OFF.... and that if I was that much of a problem they should disco me. Nope...they kept it on...kept sending a bill/etc.
the kicker for me was the little dummy box that made my HD TV an analog TV cus I they kept offering LESS service for MORE money and I wouldn't give em enough $$$ to receive a HD signal.....which i'd been getting WITH my service (or they hadn't blocked it yet) for years. After that move/after rendering my $1500 TV basically useless..I told em to come get their shit and we've been TV-FREE for about 6 months now. Love it. Fuck that shit.
Since then I've added back in a few ballasts..just to make sure i'm tossing out as much RF at em as I can....LOL Take that, bitches!
