I doubt it will have any effect on your TV, if your tv has an IR input jack then it was made for
When asking a question it is very helpful if you list the model number off all the equipment associated with the issue. There are a lot of LG TVs and the specs vary widly. The "frequency" or refresh rate can vary from 60-240hz on LG and up to 600hz on Panasonic.
If Sewell is referring to EMF given off by your tv, then it's a narrow possiblity but most IR to RF (remote extenders) operate in a common (ISM) band like 27mhz, 433mhz, 900mhz, 2.4ghz, or 5.2ghz. Those are common household radio frequencies and i am almost certain LG tested their TV to operate in such environments.
One way of testing for this with out busting some scientific equipment out is to get vintage radio scanner and walk around with it set to the frequencies listed above. Hold it near the equipment and if it gives off noise, then it may need some shielding.
