First off all it's generally not appreciated if you send attachments
like this to the list.
The shock-issue is something I get here as well when COAX is plugged in,
just be carefull plugging it in ;) In general it seems te be caused by
grounding issues.
The lines in your image I see sometimes as well in some programmes,
especially when I watch programmes on a TFT-monitor. So it might have
something to do with interlace settings?
Other people might have a better answer to that one though...
