Does that make a difference then, as I'm replacing all my light bulbs with the energy saving ones?

I promise this does happen and its only been about 2 weeks since it started. I would sit there and it would flick 2 or 3 channels at a time.

Re: Is my house haunted?
I had a issue once with a ntl keyboard and it turned out to be a energy saving lightbulbs we have two in the one of the main rooms and once i removed it it stopped the issue.
Weird but was told on another forum about it and thought could be useful.

In theory it can, but in practice, I've never had a problem.
