My pet hate!
My 3 next door neighbours each have at least 2 of the damned plasma TV's.
There is not alot you can do except to complain to the FCC / ACMA / whatever your liocencing body is called about the interference.
There's a reason that they (Plasma TV's) have been banned in the EU zone, now you know what is was.
I do have it on good authority that a transmission at high power on or about 14.3MHz does wonders for the Plasma's power supplies though.
maybe that me be an option.
