I was curious so I looked up UKs regulations. The phrasing that UK’s regulatory authority uses regarding interference is very similar to the FCCs part 15 regulations.

> Anyone using electrical apparatus is responsible for ensuring that it does not cause harmful interference to others. If this happens, we may require the user to rectify the situation.

Yes, but Ofcom is, and has very similar legislation - https://www.ofcom.org.uk/spectrum/interference-enforcement/s...

The TV isn’t a jammer though, it’s a misbehaving device. Both Ofcom, the FCC, and most regulatory bodies handle intentional interference differently than accidental interference. You still aren’t supposed to operate misbehaving devices, but regulators generally realize you might not know your device is bad.

Sure.

Law concerning radio is very close to universal law.

Amazingly so! Even HAM radio regulations are remarkably harmonized internationally thanks to the IARU[1].
