I think dealing with the neighbor is the more difficult part, rather that
fixing the actual problem...maybe you have some words of wisdom on how this was
done.

Wow, that's great news, Don. It's the first news I've heard of success with a
plasma set.

Good move. Also try a choke on any other wiring connected to the TV, like
input from a CATV box, antenna, or audio and video equipment.

I'd spend money on the chokes first. Remember that line filters only address
differential mode noise, not common mode current. The green wire, where the
noise usually is, goes right past the filter.
Please do keep us informed. This could be really great news for other victims
of a neighboring plasma set
