You might try a bead balun on the inverted vee, if you do not already 
have one. This will keep RF from the TV from flowing up the outside of 
the coax and getting into your antenna.  Also, rerouting the vee's 
feedline away from the TV or its antenna lead might help.  Finally, if 
the TV has an external antenna, an old-fashioned highpass filter on the 
TV set along with ferrites on the power cord will reduce the radiation 
from the TV.
