Jack KB4XF already suggested "channel 18) video carrier is at 145.25.
Could you have a loose or leaking cable?" and Earl suggested ferrite
beads. I was going to suggest removing all cables going to the TV except
the power cable to see if the leaking 144.39 signal goes away.

I haven't gone looking for it, but with a Samsung 52" LED backlit HDTV.
I know, size matters, but the 57" was almost twice the money! I haven't
detected any interference on any frequencies that I commonly listen on,
including 144.390. This includes HF, 2 M and 70 cm. I understand there
is a relationship between Samsung and Sony, but I don't remember exactly 
what it was... makes LCD displays for them? Makes TVs for them?
