It could be something causing interference on that specific frequency. I would try turning off any items near the pc... see if you can find the culprit. Also disconnect anything from your TV cable system which might be feeding back into the system. It could be that your TV has a stronger tuner than your pctv card. It could possibly be something IN the pc causing this as well.
