According to " the experts " , it should be unplugged, but going by my own reactions (which I would trust more than some " expert " who's never had ES), TV's seem harmless when the standby button is pushed.

The electric lines always generate EMF, unless you have a switch that shuts off the connection to the fusebox. According to my EMF meters, the levels increase with the more things you have plugged into the circuit, and the more things which are using electricity.

I am wondering if it would be okay if I shut-off the stand-by button when I go to sleep or do I have to unplug the TV? Hello Nil, one should always keep a distance to a TV set, minimal 2,5 meter. It is very bed in having a TV close to the head. Stand-by positions should be avoided. It is best to unplug the TV. Electrical apparatus and electrical cables do NOT belong in a bedroom. > Also would electric lines inside the house walls generate EMF if there is no device working on them? > On all electrical lines, when there is a current on it, is an electrical alternating field. As soon as the the current is flowing through this line, when a device is working, a magnetic alternating field is there also. It astonisches a lot of people to see, that the electrical alternating field strength of a desk-lamp may be much greater when the lamp is out, than when it is running. Just turning the plug in the wallsocket upside-down diminishes this field. Mostly, halfway the cable, there is a switch, but only one part of the double cable is disconnected. The plus goes through the other, not separated cable part, through the lamp, and back to the switch, and the current ends there. By turning the plug upside-down, the plus goes till the switch, and not any further. I hope that you understand this. This does not go for the plugs who have a three-pin bracket. Here in Europe, we do have a lot of so-called Eurosteckers, which do have only two-pins. So, it is best, for unplugging all you do not need.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Mark, Thanks so much. Excuse my CFS mind but I could not understand one thing clearly. If there are lines in the wall but nothing is plugged in,would it still generate EMF? Thanks Nil Re: TV EMF >I have a TV very close to my head.
