It is clearly a new TV.  Is it too late to return the TV to the 
supplier/shop?  You have a cooling-off period during which you can return 
goods.  I think I might be tempted to do so and then do some research on 
this reflector about which plasma TVs cause least interference.

I have recently bought a (spare) CRT TV for when ours breaks down.  It is 
now 14 years old and must be due to go bang soon.  I have heard so many 
horror stories about these new-fangled flat screen jobbies, that I 
determined having a spare CRT TV was a sound investment, even if it means 
installing it purely for contest weekends.
