It's definitely a ground issue inside the tuner. There are connections around the perimeter of the tuner wrap (shield, but RCA called it a "wrap") that are problematic, but there are several connections (four I think) in the middle of the tuner that also need to be soldered.
But here's the issue - if you elect to use the RCA composite inputs instead of the tuner, the ground issue will still at some point take out the eeprom or at least corrupt many of the internal settings.
If you want to avoid using the tuner, you should still run a ground wire from the cold side of the power supply to the computer and T-Chip area directly and bypass the tuner's structure. Also solder the heatsink tabs on both the STK power regulator and the horizontal output transistor.
