Ed,
I checked out a few plasma tv sets a couple of years ago with a portable
shortwave receiver. The RFI was coming right out of the front of the
set which made sense since that was where the discharge was occurring.

Thanks, Dale.
We can then see if the TV is still in production. If it is no longer
manufacturered, it may be a harmful interference complaint, not a possible
emissions-limit violation.
The ARRL Lab would also be willing to provide a few filters to try, if your
neighbor is willing to work with you. Some have speculated that the noise
comes directly from the TV, and this could be true, but I still tend to think
in terms of noise coming out the AC mains and possibly also being radiated by
the shield of the incoming coaxial feed line.

I'll see if I can get that information from my neighbor, but it will take a
while. I have to actually get in the house and look at the back of the TV and
get the model number because I don't think they know for sure. As soon as I
get it I'll send you a email.
Tnx

If the ARRL Lab can get some reports involving specific model numbers, we can
do some testing and find out where these plasma sets stand. I had a report in
MD that involved two Samsung plasma TVs. One made very loud radiated noise,
while the 2nd model, also a plasma TV, was quiet.
I need reports that involve a plasma TV operating in a neighbor's home causing
harmful interference. So far, most of the reports have been about the QRZ.com
and RFI list discussions, not a specific report.
The ARRL Lab can measure conducted noise and radiated noise from devices, but
we really need to start with actual, non-general reports.

How mant times have you contacted the FCC regarding the interference to your
licensed service?
