This thread jogged my memory when I was young helping my father in his TV shop. We would go out on a call for bad TV reception from the antenna we had previously installed. The problem was the excess antenna lead in wire neatly coiled hanging on the back of the TV. Uncoil the wire and the picture would clear up. As Mofimadness said, coiling the wire will create inductance, and affect the signal.
Wire Tangle?????
I've vowed to clean up the mess behind my system. between power cords, interconnects, speaker wires and wall warts it's just frightening. Every time I make a change it's disaster.
My main question, is there any problem or other issue with coiling any of them to straighten out the mess?
Any input would be most appreciated.
