Default Re: DC on the mains???

I seem to recall back in the 70's there was concern over the practice of using half-wave rectifiers in AC/DC TV sets. It was said that the millions of TV sets in use were causing a DC offset on our domestic supply. I don't know how true it was or what (if anything) was done about it.
