That Tingling Feeling!

This morning I am decorating the bedroom and in order to do so I have to take down the shelf holding LCD TV, VCR and DVD player. As I was unplugging everything I noticed whilst holding the aerial lead (metal part of the plug) I brushed the inside of my forearm against the DVD player case (metal) I got a tingling sensation, it didn't hurt but just a sensation. I have checked the earth connection in the DVD player 3 pin plug and it appears OK. I tried the 'setup' in other sockets with the same result. I haven't taken the cover off the DVD player to investigate if the cover is grounded inside yet. Anybody got any ideas where or what the problem could be. We have other metal cased items in the house and there doesn't appear to be a problem on those so I think it is unlikely to be in the mains wiring but then again I am not a Sparkie!TIAJohn

I have this image of a carrier signal modulated with small hooks - a bit like Velcro...
