cq100 isn't radio either, it's fraudulent claiming to be radio, or used to 
be until a few people, myself included complained to the authorities. Looks 
like you'll have to move the antenna away from the TV, use ferrite chokes on 
the TV, or coaxes for the HF radio, or if you have cable, and it also froze 
up the modem? you might have to have the cable company come out and 
fix/repair their crappy wiring if you do all that. You shouldn't hurt 
anything when it's shut off, I stress shouldn't but by no means will say 
won't. It's all a case of moving things around, adding filters, stuff like 
that. I live in an apartment with a lot of apartments around and I have a 
low pass filter in line, I wound the coaxes into chokes at all the antennas 
which has been known to help, I took al precautions and I don't bother 
anything in my apartment. An HT near the living room TV will make it go 
flakey, but my outside antenna for vhf with a lot more power is closer and 
doesn't bother it in the least.
