What are you coming over? RF Chokes helped me once, I used them on my antenna feedline. If it is the phone take her a plug in filter over.

If the trouble is at HER TV, then put a filter on the back of HER TV. If it's her phone, put one on HER phone line. Find out exactly where she is receiving RF interference and try to target that device. RF chokes on your equipement power cords are also another thing you might try?

Yes they do work,have them on entertainment center,telephone,computer,need to put one on the dss cable now,since power supply upgrade boomer bleeds all over it,they are not a cure all,if you overload her antenna they will not stop it,they will stop harmonics on power leads,coax shield,telephone leads,speaker wires,may need two or more depending on length of wire run,this may work on tv twin lead,but haven't tried it,a tvi filter will not work on overload,but the correct size cap to kill the fundamental and harmonic frequencies soldered across the center and shield interior of the tv set will,but it is trial and error,but Tech8541 probably could help you in that vein,I'm sure he would have a starting point to work from.Bigbob
