Dave,
A update on my X10 problems.
I divided my problems into 2 areas.
1st:
RF and video
(will deal with this later and get a better antenna)
2nd:
Power line noise and "signal suckers"
My efforts paid off in this area ;-)
I put a tuned phase coupler at the service entrance box.
Put the CM15A up on a high shelf in my office.
Located the DS7000 to a more central location.
Checked every room/outlet for module control and found that I have GREAT range 50-100 feet.
I can even get results from my shop which is about 100 feet (if I stand in the doorway.)
BUT my big problem comes from my TV/entertainment center.
My Apple TV box and VCR seems to suck all the signal. I have to get close to the antenna to get the modules to work.
When I turn off the power strip to the TV center, all problems seem to be gone.
I don't know if it is adding noise or sucking the signal.
Do you think that adding a filter before the power strip would solve this issue?
If so is the X10 filter OK to use or do you have other ideas?
I'm almost ready to "NOT THROW OUT THE X10 STUFF" ;-)
Thanks for your help.
