Just reminded me of this Bush set we had in the late 70's that drove us
mad with 'The Woodpecker'

A homemade braid-breaker would usually cure it.

It got into my portable Decca FM/MW/LW/SW set, and rendered any weak FM radio
stations unlistenable.

The big console models I remember had round speakers some distance below
the tube, at the front.

It got into my anal vibrator and drove up me up the wall.

Are there any reasonably priced tvs that do not sound like a bucket of

Buy a 5.1 amp with a decent set of 6 speakers, and plug the TVs
audio output into it

Well, there was a lot of work done on containing the magnetic field and
there were some nice sounding eliptical speakers also, some very long and
thin. Rediffusion used to use these and they actually sounded quite nice.
Things got a little worse when transistors were used though, but soon this
was sorted out.
I'd take issue about the sound of older tvs though even a cheap Hitachi
portable sounds better than the current crop.

Even in the days when TV sets were cavernous wooden cabinets, the
sound people I met in the TV broadcasting industry used to wonder what
the point was of their high standards when receiver standards were
often so poor. It wasn't uncommon for recievers to pick up Radio
Moscow in the 49m band.

They had to put the speaker right at the back so as not to upset the
electron beams in the tube. Sometimes the speaker could be repositioned
between the left and right (presumably by the installation engineer) so
that it wasn't next to a wall.

Yes, the Bairds original colour models had a big speaker in the front. One
issue with these was the ringing effect of the tube and springs inside could
clearly be heard.

Yes, well Power line internet devices seem to creat the same effect on some
AV amps round here. Seems the new adaptors when idling produce short shart
bursts, vey like ignition interference but more fat and regular. When will
they learn that mains wiring is just not the place for digital
communication!
