Could you possibly have a TV cable box?
A friend of mine years ago had a problem with his cable switching channels and even turning off by itself when lightning was nearby - a big pain when trying to record some shows. The only thing suspicious was a higher level of voltage coming off the case of the cable box than usual (too long to remember accurately - maybe 3-5 V). Just guessing this might have some effect, I ran a ground wire from a screw on the cable box case to the AC outlet plate screw and the problem was solved. Sorta surprised me, too. I wish your problem could have been that easy; 4 years of PITA.
