I just had a surprising experience.  I bought a new TV, and saw that there was
a slight duplicate shadow on each one of my local stations.  (My cable company
foolishly retransmits all local VHF stations on the identical channel -- does
ANYone else do that?)  I decided that it was something I would have to live
with, or perhaps I would complain one day to my cable company. I then noticed:

- If I used my VCR's tuner, there was no shadow

- If I totally eliminated the VCR from the circuit, there was no shadow from
my TV's tuner.

I then replaced my rather nice-looking 75ohm cable (I got it with my VCR; it
has quick-disconnect F-connectors) with another shoddy-looking one that my
cable company had given me, and voila', the problem disappeared!!

Just goes to show...
