There's no doubt you were

 

Someone could see what you are watching at a distance by picking up the RF radiation that is produced by a conventional CRT. The electron beam moves in a regular pattern across the screen and radiates RF. You can see the images on the TV that the person is watching remotely when picking up and processing the RF in the right way. Kinda spooky.

sometimes some tvs glow a little bit when they're powering down.

 

There was a time when cable TV companies talked about using remote sensing to see if people were cheating on their cable company. Scrambled pay channels had a particular horizontal sweep frequency compared with other channels. The RF generated by the horizontal sweep circuits in the TV could be picked up remotely with the proper equipment. If the sweep frequency exactly matched that of the scrambled channel and the person at the home wasn't paying for the channel, then it would be known that he was cheating.

It would be a costly way of looking for cheaters. It was easier for a cable company to tell people that they had the capability of doing this and scare them into not cheating than it was to actually find out one by one who was cheating.
