FCP HD External Video Problem

I have my cheap dv camcorder hooked up via firewire to import footage. I also run a cable out to my small tv to view the footage externally while i edit. Just recently now when I try to watch the footage these huge gray squares start crossing the screen from the top left corner to the bottom. I can see my footage on the screen but the sqaures (almost like huge pixels) keep raining across. Anyone have any idea whats going wrong here?

ok i apparently solved this problem. I'm running a dual 2.0 G5 with dual monitors. I unhooked one monitor and the external video then showed up fine. Bow heres my new question, anybody know why this happens?

Sounds like an interference issue. It's also possible you had it set to use the screen to print to and not the firewire?
