You should make sure all your outlets are properly grounded... via that third 
prong.  hold the tv cable, with it disconnected from your pc... and touch the 
metal part of the pc case... see if you get a little tingly... it may be that 
your're getting voltage bleeding in/out through your cable line, and it may 
not be enough to notice by touch.  I have this same problem, and I CAN tell 
by touch.  It makes for a very noisy picture.
