Some tuner cards get a lot of interference simply from being crappy
cards installed inside a noisy computer.  Some tuners have good
shielding and bus isolation, others (like the original ati tuner) do
not.  But a good cable could help a lot too especially being so close to
the computer.  Not sure where to buy that though.  Maybe monster cable
makes coax cables (for lots of money too of course but still).
