Noise on Channel 3 of TV
 

In the last week, we've noticed that channel 3 has a very apparent noise on
it when it is on. If DirecTV is turned on, then the noise goes away. We have
two TVs on DirecTV and a third downstairs, which we can switch over to DirecTV.
#1: Living room -- DirecTV
#2: Bedroom -- DirecTV
#3: Downstairs -- switchable to DirecTV

I've turned off my PC eqpt near #1, but no change. We've turned off a few
more household gadgets with no change.

This morning the noise is no longer on #2. No noise on #3. I don't believe
we examined #3 prior to a few minutes ago when I did check it. We took #1
completely off--no antenna connection or power, and will leave it that way
for the rest of the day. It's the newest TV we have. A Sharp 19" LCD.

I suspect the culprit will be the Sharp. Comments? The loss and gain of the
simultaneity of the noise on #1 and #2 to just #1 seems very odd.

Solved. When we were playing a DVD on the TV, I asked my wife to put the
subtitles on. She went to the TV menu, and somehow accidentally hit SAP.
That's what caused the noise. BTW, what's SAP?
