I would think you (and whatever you were standing on) was connected to the floor and were all at the same potential as ground.

well, if you are working with tv-fixing or digging into any other kind of high voltage device you _always_ have to remember the main rule:

" when working with the high voltage, always keep one of your hands in a pocket. Use only 1 hand for your work!!! If 1 hand is not enough, keep both in the pocket! "

Also, consider reading and _buying_ (not DIY) a good isolation transformer.

Otherwise, welcome to the world of TV-repairing!!! Your electroshocks were just a welcome note.

In clothing--pants often have small bags at the sides for carrying car keys, coins, etc. That's called a pocket. Put one hand in there.

What you really want: never put both hands on a live circuit. Put one hand in your pocket, or behind your back, but never on the live circuit.

Don't let a shock go from one hand to the other, because if it does, it has to cross your chest. That can harm/stop your heart.

Stand on something which does not conduct electricity.
