my computer is in a cabinet in my desk, solid box, no plastic windows or anything like that. the nearest TV is directly above me in a bedroom, and there's 2 walls between the computer and the TV in the living room. so nothing is extremely close to it. the strangest part though, was that was was coming through the speakers was NOT on the TV at the time. the audio from a Discovery Channel show on the Loch Ness monster was coming through, but when i ran into the next room and switched the TV to discovery channel, that show wasn't on. maybe i have found the loch ness monster....it's living in my computer desk....lol thanks Marc.
