Thanks to all who responded with advice on my TV and radio
noise problem.  I am happy to report that the major source
of the noise has been found.  It was coming from a heating
pad which I had draped over my son's parakeet cage to keep
the parakeet warm during the winter.  The heating pad would
turn itself occasionally and cause a band of white fuzz to
appear on my TV screen.  I suspect that the cage might have
served as a sort of antenna, but have not verified this.
The parakeet never said a word.
