You answered your own question. I recall one case where demagnetizing worked in the shop but the customer said the problem came back. To make a long story shorter, the lightning had magnetized a cast iron sewer vent pipe inside the wall near where the tv was usually kept. We couldnt do anything about that. They rearranged the room so they could put the tv at a different wall.
