You mean it wasn't the plethora of ads on X10.com suggesting that
every product they had was aimed at the voyeruistic, and the constant
"one day only sale!" which happened almost every day? :)

The X10 protocol is alright, but some of the cheaper devices really
aren't as forgiving of common line noise.  It sucks, but it's one of
those "get what you pay for" things.  Well, except that it's all
overpriced to begin with, so the good stuff tends to be obscenely
priced.  That's why *I* haven't bought any more stuff for years (I'm
pretty sure almost all of my parts are pre-Y2K)...
