This would be my guess as well. It sounds like the LED HDD light is putting
out light waves somewhere in the IR spectrum. I have something similar
happen to my MCEUSB receiver. When it's dark in the room, and the LCD TV
first turns on, or shows a black screen, the light on the MCEUSB goes
crazy. I've just learned to live with it, as I don't intend on putting
black tape over my TV. :-)
