I have recently discovered a source of interference that is blocking X10
signals to all appliances near the offending appliance.

The cause is my NEC Plasma screen.  Not only does this interfere with IR
signals by producing extremely high level of background IR, I have now
realised that when the screen is switched on, 90% of all X10 signals do not
reach appliances that are physcially plugged in to the same wall socket as
the screen.  If I put the screen in stand-by or unplug it completely all
X10
signals work 100% again.

My question is:
Is there a device/filter I can plug the Plasma screen into, to stop it
intereferring with X10 signals?

Many thanks
Graham
