Sky link interference from TV set

If you encounter one of those mysterious problems where the Sky link will not
work, unaccountably and despite the red light coming on, try fitting a high
pass filter between the link and the TV set. The Antiference TVI/U is such a
device.

Is this because there is a DC path on the aerial socket inside some TVs?
Begs the question why they didn't put a small capacitor in the TV link,
maybe they do in the decent ones ....

I don't think so because there isn't a DC path through the coaxial connector
thingy on the remote eye. Without actually doing any tests I rather assumed
that the TV sets were kicking out something on approx 6MHz, which it seems is
the frequency of the Sky eye return path.

The Emperor Justinian made homosexuality a criminal offence on the grounds that
buggery, as everyone knew, was the chief cause of earthquakes.
