I missed most of this thread, so somebody may have already pointed this out, but cases are metal not just for fire safety reasons. The case is usually made of a good conductor so that it will also shield the radio emissions from the electronics housed inside. Failure to do so could in theory bring the wrath of the FCC down on you (in the U.S.), or at least make you really unpopular with your neighbors. I wonder if the new digital TV tuners are more or less sensitive to this sort of thing than were the old analog tuners? I'm thinking they are likely to be more sensitive, since weak channels we could pick up with varying amounts of "snow" and multipath using an analog tuner tend to be a big nothing with a digital tuner.
