MAC Mini interupting TV after El Capitan Upgrade
Mac MINI, Mid 2011

8GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
OS 10.11.4
20" Apple Cinema Display
Hello All,
I finally made the jump from 10.7.5. last week. The download and install took about 30 minutes. I was happy with the time and am happy with the upgrade so far! I am on a fiber optic service to the apartment and my apartment is networked with Cat 5e, my WiFi is directly linked to the FO switch. My feed to the computer is ran through the in-wall wires to a LINKSYS EtherFast 10/100 5-Port Workgroup Hub. This hub feeds my Mini, TV box and PlayStation. Prior to the upgrade I never had any conflicts using the Mini at the same time as the TV or the PS. Now, if anyone is using the computer, either for simple website nav using Firefox 46.0 or watching YouTube videos, the TV signal is choppy and freezes a bit. Using the PS at the same time, either for games or Netflix seems fine. Here is a grab of the heavy hitters in my Activity Monitor:

For the first few days after the upgrade %CPU was ridiculously high but that seems to have calmed down after the Firefox update. I am tech functional(with directions) but not savvy in the least. I have gone through several forums and tried to "dumb Down" the options/preferences a bit to decrease the strain and improve performance. I do not use Mail, Safari or iCloud. Does any of the information I provided point to anything that could be causing this problem?
Thank you for your input!
