RF interference from Sony TV set

I had a Sony TV set model KV-14M1E. Every time it was turned on(even in stand-by mode) I received an annoying QRM from it in my amateur radio. Since I know that the interference came by radiation one day I decided to open the TV and explored the circuit with a small loop probe. You can see how I did it in the next video:



I discovered two loops radiating RF:


Like a solution I was thinking about decoupling these loops with the right capacitor but I had got no time to do the modification, the TV set was taken away from my QTH.
Now my spectrum is clear, more or less, of human-made QRM.
