Hi Keith

Thanks for the quick response.  I haven't checked the power supplies
but I will try and do so.  Both KAT5 units have the power LED light
on so I assumed that was good sign.

In terms of changes, I confess the units have been out of action for
a while but requirements have changed (again) so I need them up and
running again.  What I can't recall is whether they were working up
until I disconnected them or whether the failure instigated a work
around.

What I have setup now is a very simple test rig of DVD player ->
Transmitter -> CAT5 patch lead -> Receiver -> TV.  The plan was to
get that working before scrabbling in Node 0 \ behind the TV.  If you
wouldn't mind taking a look at them that would be much appreciated.

Let me try and find another power supply and I'll let you know the
outcome.

Thanks

Brian
