Does anyone know what one of these things is?

I have no idea what a Panasonic Viera is but a ferrite core is a long piece of material basically ferrous and usually used as a core for an inductor - take a look in a transistor radio and a long blackish grey thing with coils around it is the ferrite core.

A ferrite core is a means of increasing inductance on an over-capacitive circuit and can and is used in the reception of radio signals. You could try clipping it around your co-axial cable (the one from the roof top aerial) and see what it does. If you get a good signal then it shouldn't make much difference.

Sheesh......Is this a salesman gimmick???
ALL TVs have FERRITE CORES IN THEM....they are used to keep Hi Frequencies out of the POWER SUPPLIES so you don't get Feedback from one circuit to another.....You want power to the circuits, but you don't want the signals intermixing...it gives you a crappy picture.
BTW....YOU purchased a great TV set there!! Panasonic is a real rugged WORKHORSE TV!

it clips around your tv cable and reduces interference
