Re: X10 Problems

It's the 14-2 in the wall - my use of the extension was just to illustrate
the cause. I can start/stop it using units plugged into a power strip by
reorienting the antenna but some people reported they were never able to
cure it. Some units are more susceptible than others with the TM751 being
the worst.
