Whenever my 2.16mhz Dual intel imac is turned on in the other room, it interferes with the reception of MPR on TV. The other broadcast channels are uneffected. An old iMac DV in the same room as the intel doesn't effect reception of the TV. Anybody have any fixes or ideas as to why?

Try plugging either the TV or the Mac into a different electrical outlet.

interference occurs when a cable isnt insulated good enough or some thing similar. Is your mac plugged into a power strip?
A surge protector would fix the interference problem

We have since plugged the TV into a Digital converter box and that seemed to fix the problem.
