My Samsung shack TV did that when I first installed it.  I found some metal on 
the back of the TV and run a wire to my station ground from the TV, I also 
added #31 mix to all the wires going to the TV.  My TV behaves like it should 
now while running full power 1500 w. on all bands except 160 as I don't have 
any antennas for 160.
