Well, Dick, it's basically an extension - cord - box thingy with an "on/off"
switch.
Sadly, I don't want to climb into the back of the TV because it's still
under warranty.

I can definitely commiserate with you, though, because my experience is very
similar
to yours. I found that building and installing a rotatable coax loop did
wonders to
eliminate the noise, due to the fact that the loop allows me to "null" the
noise. I
was considering getting an MFJ antenna "noise canceller," but after building
the loop,
I decided that would be a waste of time.
