[mythtvnz] RG6 cable and mains power cable fed through same junction box - interference likely?

It's important to maintain segregation of services - ie an insulated 
insert in the double flush box to keep the coax and TPS apart - 
otherwise all conductors & cables must be insulated for 230V to comply 
with the regs.  The old 70's style point with integral ribbon socket is 
contrary to the current regs because it provides inadequate segregation 
of LV (230V) and ELV wiring systems.  Normally a minimum separation of 
100mm between power & data/Av with avoidance of parallel cable runs is 
recommended to minimize EMI.
