i'm serious, if you are having things interfering with each other, the problem may come down to dodgy earthing in the socket your pc's powered from, or in the plug you TV is running from. Older TV's need earthing. If you are confident with a multi meter, check that there is 230-240 volts not just between phase and nuetral (the power source) but also between phase and earth. If not, you may have found the problem! If this is the problem sorce, sort it before a fault kills you!
Sometimes making sure that 2 items that effect each other are not connected on the same circut (fuse) is sufficiant to remove this effect. It is loosely comparable to the fridge that makes the stereo 'thump' each time it switches on, interferance can travel through the mains.

How are you getting on with the interference problem?

I stand by my view that it is not power supply or mains electrical in origin but I'm willing to learn if I'm wrong.

The most likely cause will be a combination of effects i.e. weak TV signal + faulty antenna/feeder + computer motherboard not earthed properly to the case & allowing the computer BUS frequency to leak out.

Post a report on progress.

Cheers
