Also, for the fun of it because I always think this is really interesting, I read that the electrons that cause static on the tv is 1% made up of left over radiation from the Big Bang still whizzing by us. Lots of info on it on the web if you search the right stuff.

Static has always been around for many 100's of years, going way back before Michael Farraday found a method for containing power in some prototype battery device (why you have TV ultimately).

The reason for this if you think of Atoms (the smallest things in the world), they rub against each other causing static electricity, that's all it is!

There won't be any static in a cable TV line at all, since it's meant to be sheilded from outside intrusion, though sometimes the signal does get occasionally fragmented (I know allot about this since I am a network technician and a free software developer), the longer you have your cables for your ethernet, the more aparent the effects are for static to get into the signals and cause havoc with your network.

The reason for stating being generated is because if you think an Atom has a Nucleus, which contains Protons and Neutrons, moving around the Neutrons are tiny little particles called Electrons (where do you think the word Electricity derives from?).

That's your scientific answer.

If you where to break an item down, take my guilty habbit as a good example a strand of smoking tobacco, if you where to keep splitting that up 1'000s of times, you'd eventually only be able to see it using a microscope right?

It would if you kept reducing it's size become the smallest piece possible called an Atom, in the air there's literally 100's of atoms, containing even moisture, chemicals (chemicals logically don't have to be dangerous, they are just there, if you like Oxygen is a Chemical, it reacts with your body to allow you to live, it's like not all drugs are bad for you, infact the serious ones allow you to live a good life).

Cable tv is all compressed, so you won't ever see static as the signal you're getting is entirely digital, you then need a decoder (STB or if it's integrated into your TV then that will serve this purpose), it sends out a signal under a compressed signal encoded by something called a 'codec' encode, decode is what it stands for.

MP3 is a codec, MPEG-1, 2 and going all the way up to I think its 7, at University I did a research thing on security implementations using MPEG-6 because of XML data being coupled with it, good project did some quite funny things with it.

Hope this clears things up.

TV Static is actually cosmic background radiation and radio waves from all over, every direction in space. If this wave energy was not out there, your TV would be black instead of being full of static on empty stations.

Space isn't empty, you just aren't looking hard enough.

What your seeing is how Quamtum Reality really works. Scientists may or may not know this yet, But I do. The White dots are the energy of Quantum energy the 1s. The Black dots are formed when the 1s leap to another point to create a void. But Imagine that all those white dots are actually just one singulatity of Quantum energy leaping in and out of space to another point. thats what your seeing, your seeing One single point of energy jumping in and out of space and back. those white dots are made by one zero point of energy, the black dots are made when that zero point jumps somewhere else. Your seeing how the Quantum reality works and we are all part of quantum reality. In fact your made of quantum reality too, so some of those dots on the screen could also be created by you. for your also creaing your own Quantum Signal for the TV to recieve.
