2) As soon as I power down the mythbox all the flashing
stops (except for when I legitimately hit a remote
button). Somehow even when the mythbox is in a
different room and only connected to the AC/DC converter
(no ethernet, hdmi, or wifi) it still causes flashing on
the dinky link. Could it really be "polluting" the AC
lines of my whole house? I guess if X10 can do it maybe
this crappy power brick can too. More investigation to
follow.</span></div>

I'll review that (and the USB 2.0 header) if I cannot get
the flirc working tonight.</div>

<div class="y_msg_container" style="font-family: 'times new
roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">I read
on the flirc forums that everything flaky about the
Raspberry Pi is caused by cheap/bad power supplies. Since
I'm running on a recycled laptop brick I'm suspicious that
the same rule might be apply to my system. Perhaps poor
12V regulation is causing some/all of my problems. I
guess I'll have to see if I can find a high quality AC/DC
converter with the right size power plug... onward to
google!</div>

I was bit by the same, since CEC works ok I dropped the other remote
and soundgraph VFD in a 'too much work to bother' attitude.<br>
It's caused by the above described change.<br>
<br>
With regards to the RPi comment: that devices is very sensitive to
it's powersupply and that's one of the reasons there's different
revisions out with changes in powercircuits. Complaints are random
reboots and freezes(been there, done that :().<br>
I wouldn't base my decision on getting another power brick based on
experiences made with completely other devices.<br>
