Interference on Component input with new power supply

Morning all,

Currently I have a Panny THPV500 42" display and connected through component I have my Wii, DVD and 360 using a component switching box.

All was working great until I added an external power supply to another piece of AV equipment (plugged into the same power socket) and now I have a line of interference (like static) in the picture whenever I use a component source. When I turn the PSU off, the interference goes away.

What is causing this? I don't think it's shielding as the distance from the equipment and the PSU doesn't seem to matter, it's like it's introducing 'noise' to the setup somehow. Is there a filter of some kind I can use to improve things? Is the PSU faulty?

Thanks!
Adam
