With my troubleshooting exhausted, I turned to the Raspberry Pi forums in hope of some new ideas on how to fix it.<\/p>\n

I was not\u00a0disappointed. I quickly got answers pointing towards RF issues around the HDMI cable or grounding of the Pi\/TV.<\/p>\n

Ferrite clips along the HDMI and power cables failed, and initially grounding failed due to the fact I was using the whole 10 metres of cable I purchased to ground the Pi. Thinking this may be causing a lot of resistance for the low current used, I shortened it to around 50cm and…<\/p>\n

Hooorah!<\/p>\n

DIY solution to ground the RPi.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Raspberry Pi and my internet working in close proximity and perfect harmony. The solution is to attach one end of a short<\/em> wire to the HDMI port of the Pi, and the other end is attached to the ground pin of a standard socket plug.<\/p>\n

This has been an expensive problem for me, 2 HDMI cables, a shielded RJ11 cable for the ADSL connection and a bunch of ferrite clips\/rings when all I needed was a \u00a32.39 piece of wire from Maplin. At least one benefit of this expense is the increased broadband speed, provided by the shielded RJ11 cable, taking my connection from 2.5Mbps to 3.2Mbps.<\/p>\n

Its all working now, taking its place tucked behind the TV and providing me with a great media player solution, the abilility to control XBMC with my Bravia TV remote is an excellent feature.<\/p>\n
