These days all TV is digital virtually eliminating most changes for RFI, 
that's not a guaranty but it's not very likely. I live in a trailer park and 
there are a lot of people with on air TV antennas here all around me and if 
I bother any of them they haven't told me about it. Not to mention the newer 
radios aren't as likely to cause it as the older ones were either as 
filtering has improved over the years.
