Actually I have both an FM10 and an FD10 (the plug in and DIN rail filter units) which are very kindly on loan to me by Laser Business Systems. I bought my HomeVision from them and ended up picking Li's brains about why it "wasn't working" (a term which must strike fear into the heart of anyone with knowledge of a subject).
 
I have an awful lot of kit plugged in in my computer room  with some twenty active sockets and so running from an FM10 isn't a good idea ... the FD10 will certainly have the capacity but I haven't tried it yet - anyway, as moving the socket for the TW7223 cures the problem then that seems to be it.
 
I guess I shoudl really take this opportunity to thank LBS for all their help in getting a dumb schmuk up and running ... I must have wiped out any profit that they made from me with all the help they've had to give me!
 
Ah well ... enjoying my new hobby and keeping looking for things to automate so hopefully they'll make enough from me to make it worth their while!

Did you try one of those natty plug-in filter units? I imagine they would probably do the trick (though I would guess that moving the CM12 a couple of inches probably costs less).

Hmm.  Sounds like that might be my problem.  I've run my CM12 to another
ring main to avoid 'blindness' when plugged into the same outlet as my PC
equipment.  I didn't try another outlet.  I'll be off to change try that
shortly!  What does the term 'Switch Mode' mean, does it apply to all PC
PSU's?
