It can interfere with the picture and sound if the unit is noisy
electrically and you share a transformer though. I had a PC power supply so
noisy that it made my X10 devices sporatically go on/off/dim/etc. Put a
filtered input on for the power cord (scrapped from a Mac) and no more noise
on the line and my TV even got better reception (no cable here and sat was
new stuff then).

Only if it causes interference on your neighbors TV. Since most
everyone is on cable or satellite nowdays, that isn't really
an issue.
As a side note, my Sony DSS receiver (SAT-B1) causes so much
interference, you can't watch TV from rabbit ears in the
next room. I wonder how they got it past the FCC...

It does bring up a related question. If memory
serves, electronic
equipment for home use has to have an FCC class C rating, whereas
equipment for business only needs to have a class B rating, since
nobody is expecting to run TVs, radios, etc nearby (at least in
theory). So my question is, if my vaxstation is only class b
rated, can I get in trouble having it in my home? (not sure
the vaxstation isn't class c rated, it's just an example here.)
