I had very similar noise from my Mitsubishi 35". The noise was S5 or S6
on twenty meters. It was broadband and sounded like typical line noise.
I was able to eliminate it with about 5 or 6 ferrite beads on the
video input line. I only wish I could eliminate the TVI that my rig generates
when operating 40 and 80 meters. The only thing left is to enclose the TV
or open the chassis and shield stuff inside.
