That's ancient history. No longer applicable to digital TV. What you 
have encountered is a classic "Pin One Problem," a designed-in 
manufacturing error that is nearly universal in consumer electronics of 
all sorts, including computers, computer accessories, and ham gear.

A ham working in pro audio figured this out in 1994, and the pro audio 
industry corrected the problem within 4-5 years. The rest of the world 
never got the word. See page 5 in k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf

BTW -- by the same mechanism, DC-DC converters built into those speakers 
are often a very strong source of RF noise in our receivers.
