If you've got any of these, try rearranging your kit to make the problem go away. Be aware the interference can bounce off the opposite wall (common with wall-mounted plasma TVs). Adjusting the backlight on a LCD TV may help.
You may need to make a cardboard shield to cure the problem.

Thanks Spiderplant. Ntl have already asked whether I've got a plasma screen or energy-saving bulb. The answer to both is no. Neither do I have a PC with IrDA port enabled, anything fluorescent, or indeed an LCD set. Quite a lot of direct sunlight, though. I'll try pushing the box back a bit to see if it's better in the shade. But I think this problem is happening at nights too, which raises an obvious doubt. I'll report back!
PS: Don't spose mobile phones could affect the signal, can they?
