Mmmm. When Mrs Draggle is watching freeview channels via the digital box, my laptop has the effect of changing the chanels.
You can see the red light constantly flickering on the box.
Anyone else experienced this?
Anything we can do to solve the problem?

Thanks for that asch14. Have disabled it and the red light is no longer flashing on the digital box. Looking good. Mrs draggle may be able to get some viewing in later.

Never owt on, though :hihi:

A couple of years ago we had a problem with Pocket PC devices at work, they have the IR set to recieve incoming beams by default and kept thinking the flourescent lights were trying to communicate with them!
