That was the first thing I tried when I ran into this many years ago, but when it didn't work the second time I found the real ones from Xantech, Jensen etc do the job. Plus they don't leak like the balun-balun fix does.

It is true that one should always get the correct tool for the job, but when you are in dire need... well, how can you make it work?
Also, I was talking about isolating the CATV signal and not the video signal. Although, since the only thing connected to the TV is the CATV feed and the video feed from the DVD player you can, in reality, isolate either one and have good results. I would not recommend using the Coax to Twin Lead adaptors for a composite video signal. I'm not sure what the repercussions of doing so would be, BUT I am SURE it would not be anything good!!!
Anyhow, the main take-away from this discussion is that you need to isolate the CATV sigal. Whether you do that by isolating the TV itself or the CATV signal coming into the house, it doesn't much matter. You've just got to Git'R'Dun.
