Digital Cable Box Upstairs

I am going through a very sensitive period. My landlady has a TV directly above me. It did have a analog cable box, but 2 weeks ago, she had to switch to a digital cable box. Although my meters don't measure anything but a little magnetic, I think I'm reacting even when the TV is off. does this sound possible? If I am reacting to this digital box, would FIOS be better? EMF Services thought it was too little EMF to cause a reaction, but nothing else has changed

Thanks,
Andrea

You are right.

Those cables do emit *dirty air*.

Yes, she'd have to turn off (or maybe even unplug) the digital cable box
to stop whatever its doing. I think even when the box is turned "off",
it is downloading TV Guide information, etc.

PUK replies - If the box is still hooked up to the system in particular the
data delivery cable it might lead to the box broadcasting frequencies from
the cable evan when not plugged in - time to try the AM radio

Re: Digital Cable Box Upstairs

A lot of electronics seem to still give off stuff when they're plugged in but not turned on. Some older TV picture tubes can get magnetized and affectme even when they are not plugged in!
