[Elecraft] OT P3 video of RFI, ideas?

[Tom H Childers]

Contact Panasonic and remind them that the TV was certified as Part
15 compliant, and that if they cannot fix it you will contact the FCC
and report their failure to maintain part 15 compliance.

That's about the only thing you can do unless it is new and is still
under the 30 day return limit.

Plasma TV's and their manufacturers are evil.
