I have noticed that any negative posts are deleted.  X10 will not improve until problems are faced and corrected.  Lets see if you delete this or ban me.

PC to TV Media Sender problems:  I get a lot of noise on the TV.  Sounds like someone trying to start a motorcycle and there are also lots of screen flashes on the TV.  I tried the ABCD channel switches in all positions with no improvement.  The flat faces of the antennas are facing each other as the manual requires.  I also tried the antennas in other positions but no improvement.  There is about 25 ft line of sight and no walls between them. PC is a Dell XP desktop. 
 
Also the Wireless Mouse Remote does not work with the X10 software and drivers that I downloaded (SW42A) from a link in the X10 email that was sent to me - I think it is called 'Google Remote'.  There is other software called 'Niveus PC Remote Software' that is mentioned in this forum by others who have had similar problems, but this is no longer available anywhere.

The left mouse button does not work and mouse movement causes windows scrolling and jumping.  I read elsewhere that SW42A only works with Win98?  In case you were going to ask - yes, I DID put batteries in the remote and I DID boot up the computer.  I didn't think a wireless mouse was such a leading edge high tech device that could have so many problems.
 
Part numbers are:
1 Wireless PC Transceiver CM19A
1 Mouse Remote UR86A
1 Round Video Receiver - used in VK82A VR46A
1 Round Video Sender - used in VK82A VT46A

Negative posts are not removed !
It's when you post the same thing more then once that I will remove it as will other moderators.
If you wish to multi post the same thing and continue after being warned you will be banned!
Multi posts are  a form of Spam!

-Bill- (of wgjohns.com):
"The definition of insanity is doing exactly the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."   :'

Duplicate posts will be removed.  Posts placed in inappropriate places will be moved.

Daring the moderators to ban you is a very good way to get banned.

I'm sure if anyone here has any information on how to do what you want to do with that stuff, they will reply.
Many of us read every single post here, however not everyone does that daily, so some patience may be required.

If you don't have the patience then by all means call and get a RMA.

Since you double post, I will double answer.
Motorcycle audio and video flashes strongly suggest of an outside interfering signal. Do you have a 2.4GHz Wifi set up?? Or a 2.4GHz corless phone being used when the disturbance is taking place? Are you sure the signal coming from the computer is good?

Don't be so quick to assume the problem is on X10's end. Many times it is not.

I got a RMA number without any hassle and returned the X10 equipment today.  Reason For Return: 2.4 GHz interference .  I agree - the problems of noise on the TV were probably due to interferance from my wireless router and cordless phones - but I don't want to live without these items.  The PC to TV Media Sender might be OK if you live in a cave.
