Help-Line in my RPTV-need conditioner for HT

Wait, are you saying that plugging the gear into a powerbar reduces the lines? If so then you might be right about your power, otherwise I would check the signal cables first. And why not buy a long extension cord or something and plug the TV into another outlet to see if anything changes? Or at least try to get a powerconditioner to try out with a return policy. But if you're rich, then ya don't worry and just buy the BPT and tell us if it fixes anything.

I tried 4 regular outlets and 2 recently dedicated,(no improvement) I do find some improvement with the powervar, but there are still times I get the frigging lines, plus I can tell my picture gets sucky at times. By this I meen the saturation of colors on my screen seem real hazy, non dimensional. I know this TV should have a great picture, and I want it to run at it's best. No, I am not rich, but I just bought a BPT 3.5 sig off audiogon (reasonable)and hope that solves this issue, along with making both my systems sound better. I get impatient, yaknow.

Steve- A buddy of mine struggled with this for quite a while...he called it a "hum bar".

He finally resolved it through power conditioning and ground management I believe.

I have the BPT Sig. 3.3- I think you might like that unit :)

Good Luck,

Dan

Dan, I bought the sig 3.5, should have it by end of week, wwweee isn't this fun.

Your problem may not be the power going to the TV. The Pioneer Elite X30 series of RPTVs has the potential for a "green streaks" problem. If you do a search on the AVS forum or go to the Pioneer section in the Hometheaterspot forum, you can read up on it and determine if your problem is similar.
