Thanks for the tips.  Here is what I'm getting on a 13" Sharp Aquos LCD tv with RG-6 coax.  I have 2 of these TVs and they look the same.

Should I expect better?

I use a F Type Female to RCA Male Coax Coaxial Cable Audio Adapter Connector on the CoCo side, and then connect the other side to the cable-in connector on a small 19" LCD TV.  The results are actually pretty decent.  It seems to eliminate much of the interference.

Was it really this bad when I was kid? :) I haven't had this issue with the Z80 machines as they all come with decent terminal-grade video systems.  What current options are available to upgrade the video on the CoCo?  How do you achieve the best RF results?
