No. What he says is not that the fiber optics carries RF energy into the home, he specifically says that the optical-to-digital box inside the home generates some RF, this is from its tiny power supply. You can literally hear the RF if you bring an AM radio near the converter box. But the thing is, the amount of RF from the converter box power supply is miniscule compared to the RF generated by other appliances. Your TV for example generates far more RF from its power supply. Also, nearly all switching power supplies have RF shields around them specifically because if they leak RF, it couples into the neighboring circuitry and degrades performance. That is why we put them in metal boxes separate from what they are powering with DC.
