Are you using a wireless system for your tv cable?
Maybe you are using the same channel and you need to change the WiFi
channel from either the Wifi Router or the Wireless Cable.

Wireless digital phones (DECT) can also interfere with Wifi and other
wireless devices.
Sometimes you just need to change the channel to have a better
reception.

Computers are working famously. :) It's the TV cable that's crap now.
I'll 
let Bill check the splitter when he gets home and if that doesn't
improve 
things we may have to call the cable company.

FWIW, I am delighted with the D-link wireless router and compatible 
receiver. It was easy to install and we never hit the first snag.
