If a 2.5" HDD is placed very close (2 cm or 3 cm) to a large, switched-off 29" CRT TV, could this TV, due to its large and powerful magnets and coils, cause some degradation in the HDD's magnetism, leading to data loss or corruption and magnetic degradation? my old hdds 2.5" WD10JPVX-08JC3T5, HGST HTS541010A99E662 e ST500LM030
 
No. CRTs really depend on electromagnets. Why do you even have a CRT this day and age anyway?
