Why does my Waterpik cause a specific TV channel to go on the frizz?
Post Body

I have a Waterpik Flosser and whenever I turn it on, my TV goes on the frizz if on channel 36.

The cable box (a Cisco Explorer 8600HD) is connected to two TVs on separate circuits, and it only happens on channel 36, so it's likely the cable box.

The Waterpik Flosser and the cable box are on the same circuit.

The Waterpik draws around 16 Watts, so it shouldn't be a load issue, and if it were, it should affect more than one channel.

Just curious as to why this happens, it's obviously not much of an inconvenience to me, but it certainly is surprising.


Edit: I think I found the answer, although it doesn't explain why only one channel seems to be affected.
