Strange thing has happened.

Set the video for F1 Sunday morning - all was OK. Came home about 4pm, try to start to watch - and my IR extender wont work !

No, I have 2 x One4All IR Extender kits - been using the 1 unit for over a year quite happily, and the new one for a few months. All works on the same frequency.

Now, you can see the red light on the receiver flashing (so it is getting something) , and i've swapped all the units round to make sure one of them wasn't faulty - all seems fine. But, when I stick a remote in the cabinet to do it direct, it seems as though the IR extender maybe picking up something else as tho there is interference (it's a RF transmission system) - if I hold down the Sky channel select, it's jitters.

So, I think something has started broadcasting and is now knocking out my IR system ! I'm buggered...

I've no idea what frequency these things broadcast on - anyone got any bright ideas ? I've asked the immediate neighbours - they reckon they've got nothing.
