Since nobody's answered your question on the mailing list yet, I don't feel bad offering up my wild guess: Is it possible there's a grounding issue? Specifically, are the TV, PVR computer, and cable box all plugged into the same power strip?
It's unlikely that grounding is your problem, but if they're not all using the same power strip, it's free to try the fix. :) Good luck, and sorry I couldn't offer any real solution.
