In addition, use black electrical tape to cover
the main IR emitter on the RFX main transmitter
unit.
It may not be the RF system, it may be the plasma flooding each of the components. Unless the equipment is behind closed doors or in another room, the RF solution cannot prevent the plasma from flooding the IR receivers on the front panels of the individual components.
Emitters are supposed to pass IR through them as well as emitting their own signal, this is so the remote works line of sight as well. If there are no doors, block the front of the components with cardboard or somthing similar that totally covers the front panels from every possible angle.
Imagine the plasma as a 4 bulb flourescent fixture facing out into the room, wherever light would shine and reflect in that example, crap in the IR spectrum is going to be from your plasma.
Xantech makes a mouse shield, but thy are ugly and sometimes the entire window on the front panel needs to be covered with strips of electrical tape to keep IR spectrum noise out of the receiver.
