It seems silly to blame active SETI for giving away our position. (I'm looking for that image that shows how far some famous radio signals have reached over time, but I cant find it.)

A couple of hundred light years isn't that far in galactic terms. Also, the signals will have attenuated greatly by then. The likelihood that TV and radio signals will give us away is actually pretty small.
