TV's (even the best) are poorly designed and shielded, especially in the RF 
section.  ANY stray RF can cause multiple problems.  I've got a high end Sony 
WEGA which does similar things with a PeeCee I have.  That said, make certain 
the drive is grounded to the chassis (some folks have used the "sticky foam" 
method of mounting....poor from an RF viewpoint).  If there was any shielding 
that was removed for the 10 gigger, try to reinstall it.  The AL foil may 
work...I prefer copper myself.  However, it too should be well-grounded to 
the frame of the machine (not having a 2400 I'm not certain how the 
mounting/shielding is done).  What you want to do is to prevent any stray RF 
from finding a channel to the outside.  It may be as simple as grounding the 
drive.

Hope this helps!
