It's a ground loop problem. run a ground wire from the Chassi of the computer (screw) to the chassi of the device(be SURE it's a ground. I'm betting that your TV does not have a grounded 3 prong power plug on it.

When two machines are not on the same fuse, this could cause some side-effects like this.
