Nigel,
That's the Dinky Link! They are superb I use two of them and two
Buffalo
tubes as well, all of which I got from Let's Automate. I even had these
running fine with the TTR at one point so I don't understand why you
have a problem with this, other than interference from something
external to the IR distribution system.
What I did find was that using those damn Powermids sent the whole IR
system nuts so it could be RF interference too if you are using RF at
all.
