Thank you for your responce.
Should there be voltage between any of those places?
When you say "earth" you mean the ground wire at the outlet, right?

Check for voltage between the antenna port and your antenna wire with a

antenna port and earth.

This should give you some idea where to start looking for problems.

Could you explain what this means, what it would cause, and how I can
fix it?

It may mean that you have a live chassis (which is strange these days) and
that you have bypassed the safety system built into the set, which is very
dangerous.

Why would it happen only when connected to a video source?

Because that's when you are grounding the antenna input.

The same exact wires plugged into my other TV set works 100%, so they
are not grounded. But if it were grounded internally, it shouldn't
matter if a video source is plugged in or not. Right?

Right. Something is wrong.
