Original poster: "by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <A123X-at-aol-dot-com> On a similar note, would a TC mess up a digital cable box? I finally had my TC running again but a whilw later I noticed that the box wasn't working. Its plugged into the same socket as the TC and is about 15' from where the TC was running. Mark
