Well, somewhat related story here.

I moved my router to the back of my entertainment center because it was way cheaper (free) to put a wireless card in my desktop than get a wireless card for my Xbox. That night I couldn’t pull in any stations off my HD antenna. I figured out that the cat5 cable was leaking so much interference that when they ran through the wall together I got 0 signal on the TV.

The next day I drilled an additional hole and kept the cat5 at least 4 feet from the RG6 coax, and all was well. If it was leaking that much I’m sure it’s also very susceptible to noise.
