Thanks for the replies. I've been doing packet captures & examining them in wireshark. It's rather fascinating. First of all, I'm wrong about the TV - I've managed to have a network problem with the TV unplugged from the network. Can't blame the TV! But I've seen other things. For example, my Yamaha audio-visual receiver gets on the network every few seconds and asks, "Who has 192.168.1.255?" No idea why it's asking that, over and over again - predictably it doesn't get any reply. That's a bit strange. It's all good fun.
x.x.x.255 is a broadcast, meaning it is telling everyone that it is there, so nothing very strange.
