I am going to use the X10 system to control some lighting as well as my fireplace. I plan to put the IR543 reciever near my television and have it control the fireplace and lighting. Do i need to plug the IR543 into the wall itself? or will work if I plug it into an open slot on the powerstrip i use with my tv, dvd player, reciever, etc. Thanks!

If the powerstrip is a surge protector or contains any type of noise filtration circuit, then most likely it will block the X-10 signal. If the powerstrip is simply a "recepticle multiplier" then the signal will pass through it.
