My tvout works great with no interference on the tv. But then as soon as i plug in my external hardrive to the usb port i get interference on the tv. I have tryed using different ports on my laptop but makes no difference. Is there anything i can do?

thanks

i used another external harddrive and the same thing happened. im using a laptop if that makes any difference? was just thinking it could be to do with grounding?
