How old was this "old" TV? I'm imagining a pre-digital TV that would need a converter box anyway. I mean, I've got a Panasonic 720p plasma TV that has to be at least 12 years old because it was bought at Circuit City. Is that "old"?
Plus who connects their TV directly to cable anyway, wouldn't there be a set top box? Sounds like something was broken or connected wrong, not just old.

Look up Heterodyne: Heterodyne <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterodyne> Nearly all modern receivers generate internal RF frequencies to mix with the received signal. When they break or are poorly designed they can transmit a significant amount of RF.
