Isolated TV outlets stop the capacitive effect of long runs of co-axial
cable. This effect can create 'echos' of the signal on the cable runs,
which can effect the picture (ghost images, interference etc). Isolated
outlets prevent this from occuring, non-isolated don't.

Another version is, "A little nit-picking is an annoying thing."

A family member used to work at Russell and Bromley. Whenever she mentioned

Isolated outlets made with nice little caps and everything kept neat and
tidy are pretty well loss-free.
