A while ago I bought this PSU

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159111

Kinda cheap I know, but it worked well, powered everything (and had blue lights!) and was all I needed. Except...

Every time I turned it on my TV, CRT, and monitor went staticy. It was the worst on the CRT, and only noticeable on the TV when I was on a channel other than RGB, and same with the monitor when I was on HDMI/VGA instead of DVI (dual setup of course). By static, I meant these lines across all of the TV's, again being the worst on the CRT. I can't really think of how else to explain it (if anyone wants pictures then sure I can get them I guess).

It isn't my computer either, as I bought a 550w from OCZ and I get absolutely no problems from that one. I just don't know if that's a bad PSU and I should send it back, if my house doesn't have enough power through the walls, or if it's just a bad PSU compared to the one I bought, and was hoping someone here could give me an answer (I'm not an electrician, and Google has brought up NOTHING).

One last thing. It didn't create any static when I plugged it into a different room, only when it was powered up in the same room as all my TV's.
 
Poor quality PSU problem, get a better one and you won't have that issue... It's either creating noise on the power line or its putting out more EMI than normal I would guess.
