Default New Light Bulbs that effect your Virgin Remote control

This has been in all the papers now.


Annoying: Emma Clements said Phillips low-energy bulbs
switch the channels on her Virgin Media box


"They rang their supplier, Virgin Media, and were told the problem
could be because of the Philips low-energy light bulb fitted nearby.
But while changing it helped, the couple say the channel still flips
from time to time even though
the nearest low- energy bulb is now in another room.
Experts say infra-red light from modern fluorescent bulbs
can be 'mistaken' by electrical equipment for commands from its remote."

I hate these New Low Energy Bulbs
they do not give enough light.
Stinking New Labour has now banned
our old type light bulbs.
