Insulation Query

[tammyshep1950]

Hi everyone, would be very grateful if anyone can help me on this one. The problem is my mum is in a home and bedridden, have bought her a chromecast to use from her tablet to her television. Chromecast works fine but when she switches back to her television the picture keeps breaking up. Now the chromecast lead and the arial are side by side, the word insulation comes to mind, is there a way of fixing this without an electrician getting involved, any tips would be brilliant. Thank you

Just thought I would mention that when I put my hand round the chromecast lead the tv picture stops jumping

Sounds like EM interference. Can you use a shielded cable maybe ?

Sorry you didn't get further replies from those familiar with chromecast. Maybe bumping onto the recently answered list might attract more. Meanwhile would separating the two cables such that they take different routes from tablet to TV achieve anything ? Or more fancy, can either be set up to be replaced by a wireless connection instead ?
