TV gives me a headache when its on; any suggestions?

Is it your eyes and not your ears? Brightness level?

TVs, telephones, smart phones, iPads, all of that kind of stuff is bad for the sound even when there’re not (rpt not) ON. That’s one reason why the sound is frequently so bad at shows, you know, with everyone standing around with smart phones in their pockets. And why demos sometimes fall flat on their faces. 😛

Since TVs probably dump a bunch of rf into the house AC and perhaps into the room, too, you could try a large ferrite on the AC cord and see if that helps. That’s a large ferrite, not a large ferret.

Large ferret might work as well - just try to wrap AC cord over it and soon you will forget minor problems with your system's sound.

I think you mean ferrite bead. Although maybe a large ferret might work. ;|
 

Several questions:
First what sort of AC power does the op get?
An apt can have anything from 15 amp breaker for TWO apartments, up to modern 100 amp service panel.
The wiring in an old house can be post and cotton insulation wire, or more modern
If all he has is the small 15 amp service, then IMO he is SOL. As there IS no power solution.
