Ask him to operate his equipment with all cabinets screwed on. This should prevent much of the interfering signals from leaking out of the computers. 2. Be reasonable about it. Perhaps there are times you could expect him to shut down. 3. (Drastic) Complain to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). There are laws against Radio Frequency Interference.

Acording to the FCC, it is your neighbor's responsibility to shield his equiptment, if it is interfering with anyone else. But, that is sometimes not very practical, often prompting small range wars between once friendly neighbors. But the bottom line is, if it is interfering with the low end of the TV channels, you are out of luck. His equiptment is switching it's little heartout at frequencies that equal your TV frequencies. About all you can do is try re-positioning your equiptment and antanna. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Lowrey "To vacillate or not to vacillate, that is the question.... ....or is it?" ...!(<sun,cbosgd,ihnp4}!amdahl!dwl10 [ The opinions expressed <may> be those of the author and not necessarily those of his most eminent employer. ]

What can I do on the computer side to shiels it? Do I have to build a metal case for it? It's a six year old Vector Graphic Z-80 CP/M antique with a fiberglass case.

> How can I filter interference with my TV reception by by > neighbor's computer center in his garage? a.) Completely enclose you neighbors house in a Faraday Cage. b.) Get cable TV so that the signal is piped directly into your TV c.) Ask you neighbor to either shield his/her garage or computer. d.) Disconnect the power going into your neighbors garage. Of these options b. is recommended, c. is the cheapest if your neighbor agrees. a.) the most spectacular and d. the most likely to result in lawsuits.
