"Ofcom described the incident as a "real one-off" as digital boxes should only receive and not send signals."

Any technically inclined FReepers want to weigh in on this?

"Ofcom described the incident as a "real one-off" as digital boxes should only receive and not send signals."

Computers, while not radio transmitting devices, give off radio signals (modems, video cards, power supply, memory cards, monitor, even the central processing unit itself), and are technically defined at FCC Part 15 (unlicensed RF devices). Any device in the United States stamped with a FCC Part 15 label is capable of being a transmitter and will cause interference to devices capable of receiving (TV's - which are Part 15 devices themselves- and tranceiver [those designed to transmit and receive] radios come to mind).

Devices mentioned above, and thousands of others without such a label are illegal.
