Ceiling LEDs Affecting TV Antenna

Does anyone have the same problem as I do? After I set up the antenna and scan for channels, I begin watching a TV channel. If my wife turns on the LED ceiling lights in the bedroom, the TV reception gets interference and gets pixelation. I am guessing the LEDs throw off some kind of electrical interference to the TV antenna nearby.

We haven't had that problem yet but it is very possible according to this Austrailian article:https://www.acma.gov.au/Citizen/TV-R...v-interference

I'm aware of interference with my TV. After installing LED headlights, the truck's TPMS started telling me that I had a problem. Even worse, it kept 'throwing' engine codes. These were not cheap lights but good ones from Superbright LEDs/ They have been replaced with conventional bulbs - no more TPMS problem or engine codes..

Wanna buy some low hours headlight? Cheap!

Yes, I have the same problem in my '14 3402rl when on antenna or cable. No idea how to solve issue other than turning off the bedroom lights. Hope someone on here has a better solution.

You might try putting another antenna amp right at the living room tv. I bought mine at home depot and it runs off 120vac. Solved my pixel at ion issues with quite a few weak stations. I can leave this one on all the time since it is directly feeding antenna input on tv, whether watching cable or over the air channels.
