If you can't get any relief, and you believe that the problem is indeed caused
by power line problems, then get in touch with the FCC.

I had to do that once with cox communications, when the rude cable guy
was complaining I was getting into their system. I told the FCC field
engineer about the RF leakage from their "closed" system and a few days
later they had three of their pole monkeys out reworking all the
distribution boxes in my neighborhood.
Cable TV uses frequencies that fall in the commercial aviation band and
is therefore only allowed a minimum of leakage.
I had tried to tell the original cable guy that there was a major
leakage issue, but he insisted it was the fault of my equipment. Turned
out that someone in an apartment across the way had spliced into his
cable with zip cord to share football games with his neighbors and in
effect created an antenna out of the cable.

This is why United Video Cablevision installed "Sniffer" receivers in
their service trucks back in the early '80s. A separate modulator was
fed into the system a little above the highest TV channel that had an
irritating modulation so there was no mistaking it You could spot a
leak driving down the road, then look for the problem with a small
handheld receiver with its signal strength meter.
