TV's have a hot chassis, and the antenna/cable input is supposed to
have isolation. Your isolation has been compromised somehow.

Thanks for that. I was wondering if the aerial braiding should be earthed. I
thought not, and measured it for resistance. It measures around 15-25 ohm to
mains ground, depending which way round my meter leads are connected. Just
never thought of the aerial system as being a problem. Not with the ultra
fussy british health and safety regulations these days.

Thanks Tom,
Regards,
David
