Re: Re: Anyone seen the X10 Mains Sockets on LetsAutomate?

["Neil F" <automated@xxxxxxx>]

I've just got a Nokia box...it's crashed quite a few times on me in the 2-3
weeks I've had it. Seems to happen when I flick channels too quick for
it....it's damned annoying waiting a second or so for each channel to come
on ;-)
RF output seems fine.
