buzz/hum from tv

I have a 31" Panasonic tubed tv in a HT set up. I am using the Paradigm Studio 100's/450cc/dipolars for speakers. Ensemble wires rca's/power. Integra Research RDA7 amp and Marantz av9000 preamp. I have a minor noise, when the tv is off, with system on, but the noise is about 3x as loud when the tv is on.
I have also noticed that the closer the speakers are to the tv (front/center), even with the sound system off, (tv on) the speakers pick up a buzz. There is also a buzz from the tv's own speakers (which I do not use).
I believe it's the tube of the tv. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Paddlersean,Is your TV connected to a cable box?If it is I'd say you have a ground loop problem.Try disconnecting
the cable box.If the noise goes away,thats the problem.
Do a Google search and find a Xantech ground breaker.They
sell for about $10 bucks,and it worked for me.
