Cable TV gets statics when downloading from the Net

My house has cable Internet from Time Warner. My computer
gets it via D-link Wireless 802.11G adaptor. As a result of
cable internet, I also get some basic TV channels to watch.
I watch it on my PC as it has AIW 8500DV card. The problem
is whenever I browse the net or downloads anything from the
net, the TV gets statics (white horizontal lines with poping
sounds). The cable that I used from the signal splitter to
my PC is 50 feet long. What seems to be wrong?

The signal splitter could be a problem. I was going to use a splitter but
the guy who installed my
cable modem wouldn't allow it. He ran a separate cable from the pole to my
PC (no charge of course).
I don't have that interference problem.

Interesting, the guy that installed mine wanted to run from inside the house
but I had him run a separate line outside. He just installed a splitter
outside the house. No problem for months, but then I wanted to add other
devices(2) to the new line. When I did the internet connection slowed down.
Installing a bi-directional amplifier before the 4way splitter put things
right again. You were lucky to get such a conscientious installer. Mine was
a contractor and no doubt being paid by the job.
