Weird Problem - Ground/Phase Related?

I have what I think is quite a strange problem.

When I have my PC connected to my TV via Svideo I have diagonal interference lines across the screen.

I have tried my DVD player on the end of the cable instead of the PC and the picture is fine, no interference.

If I unplug the aerial from the back of my television (Panasonic TX28PS12C) then the interference lines become very very faint.

If I unplug everything from the television except the Svideo cable and also disconnect the digital coax cable that goes between my PC and Amp then I have different interference again. Some strong vertical lines (pin sharp & black) but not over the entire image.

I have come across and solved many problems my customers have but this issue is with my own kit and something I have not been able to figure out what is causing it.

The reason I suggest a ground problem is sometimes I do get a shock off of some of my kit but I haven't figured out exactly why and what I was touching at the time.

I will be pulling all of the kit apart over the coming week as I am redecorating the room so it would be nice to solve this problem at the same time.

Any advice appreciated.
