It suggests a fault in the TV power supply... But does not prove it. The indication of a digital volt meter is inconclusive because it can be fooled by a static charge or very light capacitive coupled charge.

Most test meters have a very high input impedance and will allow a small insignificant capacitively coupled leakage current to appear as a significant voltage. A specialty test set should be used to check for leakage current. The certified test set will have a complex impedance network that simulates the resistance of a human body... With this as a load, the meter can indicate if an unsafe amount of energy is available.
