Tunable light bulb dimmer interference

Hi all 

This is my first post.  This has just stated yesterday when we noticed a poor TV image quality.  I chated with a tech service and found out that there was a TV outage in my area.  But the problem persisted after the outage was fixed.  It turns out that when a  light dimmer switch (with dimmerable CFL bulbs) is on, the TV image quality gets extreamly bad and this does not affect DVR and other deiveces(Apple TV) hoocked up to TV.  Interstingly, when the dimmer is at the lowest point, we get relatvely better  TV image.   We have a 32inch LCD Samsong and our setup box is QIP7216  I am not sure why this problem just has surfaced but any help will be appreciated to solve this.  

Thanks in advace.

Flicker rate of the CFL interfering visually with the refresh rate of the TV?
