Lights On - Nobody Home; Response to Sam


I asked about an LED in a gutted, un-plugged computer flashing
inexplicably, Sam offered capacitance discharge.
Sam, I was streaming video from VCR to computer, the picture was
snowy, suddenly it came in strong and...*I heard the next door
neighbours cheer!* This disturbed me, so I hit the fast shutdown on the
front of the computer ...immediately the hullabaloo next door subsided.
One guy actually sounded angry at the rest for cheering...
As I sat accusing myself of extreme paranoia, this LED flashed.

So what do you think...was I being wirelessly "scanned" or something,
and the sudden removal of the field or what have you set off this LED?
This is important because I use the setup to transfer commercial
footage which must not be "out there".

Tie-in; the reason I started a new topic instead of just replying is
- I had to, because the computer used for transfer is off the 'net
forever, and I'm on this old PC which *loves* invalid page faults in
kernel32 dll...just now I can only start new topics, not reply! I'll
work it out...thanks for responding.
