I've often wondered what that strange tingling in my fingers was when I
plugged/un-plugged coax sockets from my TV booster.  At one point I
wondered
if I'd managed to short one of the leads onto the mains somehow.  I even
had
myself believing that the tingling was just where it touched a sharp bit on
the coax plug.

TV mains leakage, now it all makes sense.
