We have directv sattelite tv. My daughters television (or the one in her room) messes up. She keeps getting all these small retangular sqaures across the screen and sometimes it looks like someone took a pair of scissors and cut the screen up. You can't even make out a pic.
Sometimes she gets noise but not normally.
We have changed tv's, we bought a new surge protector at wal mart, I called the electrician to see if it was that but he didn't think so as the VCR doesn't do it.
Direct tv has changed the reciever,and put in a new spliter, and changed the cables that go from the t.v to the vcr.
Hers is the only tv in the house that does that.
Direct tv was just here and they said unless it does it when they are looking at it, they can't do anything.
Any ideas at all?

There may be another splitter in the attic that they are overlooking. The entire line to her room needs to be tightened or replaced.

I bet the problem is a program Direct TV put in to stop people stealing the system. You're getting some of that on this TV and the sad thing is there's no way to stopped it.

How about the cord that goes from the cable to tv.
