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.

Ed

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
