    I have a Dell Studio Hybrid. I know it's a desktop but it has notebook internals. When connecting it to a TV with HDMI, my wireless network always drops. If I connect to a monitor using DVI, the connection stays. I have wireless N card and d-link 655 router. Has anyone come across this kind of interefence before?

    For some reason the wireless N cards seem to have issues with connecting to wireless g networks. They seem to hate any kind of radio frequency interference. Not sure why the HDMI would interfere though, unless you are using unshielded cables.
