(I believe that this was in reply to my suggestion about radioactivity, so that
is what I'm following up on...)

Ionizing radiation would generally _NOT_ cause a "same continual pattern".  It
would vary significantly over time.  Is anything besides the TV moved from
house to house?  The probablility of several houses having similarly "hot"
rebar/bricks/whatever is fairly small, but if you are like me and have several
other items that you like to take with you when you move, maybe one of them
is "hot"  :-)  Actually, it could even be part of the TV itself that's "hot".

Another, possibly somewhat more likely possibility is that the effect you are
seeing is connected with the "degaussing" circuitry of the TV.
