Boot Camp/XP = interference

While I'm in Boot Camp/Windows XP, my Intel Alu iMac gives off a
regular signal of some sort which interferes with my television (which
receives video wirelessly from the satellite receiver in the other
room). I get a short burst of noisy picture breakup every couple of
minutes. When I'm booted into MacOs 10.5.1, I do not experience this
interference. Could anyone give me a clue as to what could be the cause
of this and how I could turn it off?

I don't have wireless enabled on either MacOs or Windows (although
Windows makes a big point of telling me that I don't, every time it
boots up, for some reason -- as if it's a criminal act not to have
enabled wireless). My internet connection is via wired ethernet and I
think Bluetooth is switched off in Windows but on in MacOs. What else
could be the cause? Connected hardware comprises a USB keyboard and
mouse, Firewire hard drive, Firewire scanner, USB printer and Ethernet
router. Could it be the XP firewall? Any help much appreciated.

I had a problem once with speakers when switching. Not on an iMac
though. But it was a USB power draw issue.
