TV receivers are not tested for radiated emissions below 30 MHz.

From FCC MP-3:
http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/measurement/mp3/mp3-1985.pdf

8.2 Electromagnetic field: 30 MHz to 1 GHz
Any equipment to which it is applicable shall be measured for
radiated radio emissions from all units, cables, power lines and
interconnecting wiring.

IMVH (yeah, right)O we could ask the FCC to revisit this standard, now that TV receivers have screens large enough to be significant radiators all on their own.

Mike,

They most likely DO pass "testing standards".  That shows what a piss poor
job the FCC has done with regards to emissions on so many devices.
Remember, the "warning" label on Part 15 and similar devices says that the
device must not cause interference and it must accept interference.  Right.
Per the FCC, you can go tell your neighbor to not use the TV during
whatever hours you operate.  Lotsa luck.
