I have recently started using the X-10 system (R/S Plug 'n Power)
and have ran into a bizarre problem.  It works fine (even though
the controller is on the other phase from most of the modules), but
my TV has an annoying habit of randomly turning my lights on and 
off (mabye once or twice an hour.)  This only happens when the TV is 
on, so it isn't someone else with the same house code.  Any ideas 
how to fix this?  I thought of putting a 0.1 uF cap accross the TV's
linecord, but there is an X-10 module in the same power strip as the 
TV and I don't want to lock it out.
Thanks in advance,
/mike
