Steve,

I don't think the problem is just the adjacent audio, the early cable systems carried just 12 channels (maybe). Now we have 80+ analog video carriers and 40+ digital carriers being pushed into a tuner that was designed to "see" one channel at a time at its input terminal.
I've seen modern sets that can't handle all that power.
