I spoke with customer service yesterday 11/01/2008 and was advised that the vt37a sender that is part of the package that is being given out in the above link has been discontinued. The replacement for the vt37a will be discontinued shortly. Probably too many problems with these senders. Norm

.............The replacement for the vt37a will be discontinued shortly. Probably too many problems with these senders.
Like most [if not all] manufactures and/or retailers... X10 does discontinue older products and introduce new ones. I have used the sender-receiver units for some time and have found them to be pretty darn nice. These clearance prices are a great way to increase a Home Automation setups capabilities... and still save some money. I always keep an eye on the hot deals.

I actually do own it... but never used the mouse-remote or the software. I bought it as a package deal.... with the PC to TV senders. I also recently (last week) bought this HOT DEAL (http://www.x10.com/promotions/mk10a_ed_deal_1022.html) to get the CM19A!.
To be honest... I picked up a few things. I try to keep a little stock of X10 items here at home. That allows me to buy the deals... and still not need to wait for what I want to come on sale (and maybe I should not have posted the above link... EVERYONE should sign-up to receive their own newsletter). One of the old-timers here had mentioned (posted) once that he shopped that way... and judged value by cost-per-item. So I learned... and try to do the same myself now. Then when a project comes to mind... I can sort through my X10 tub... and often have what I need.

Speaking of Hot Deals, check out the Sarah Palin sale on the X10 site !

Now that was a hot ad.
I've always said... I never understood the "barely legal, just 18, and hot teens" spam. If they would had said "Not too bad middle aged women" I might had been temped to peek.

I think the software that comes with the remote mouse is basically the Lola software
I have an old version of this remote and the software that cam with it wouldn't run on newer PCs.
If you have a CM15A it will work with it and PC Companion (http://www.angelfire.com/in2/ontkoi/X10AHP/PcCompanion.html) although at the moment things you can do with the remote are limited!
I think the x10 Boom software will work with it as well but that basically will only play MP3s I think!

- yeah ... check out that website ...
I knew that in order to truly enjoy my photos with family and friends, needed to be able to share them in the comfort of my family room, not crowded around my computer's tiny 15 inch monitor. Thanks to the engineers at X10, I can now access all of photos stored on my computer directly on the Big Screen TV. #:)

Man if you are not a X10 employee then they should hire you. but my guess you are or at-least contracted to do research with them.
If not them sorry I spoke out of turn....... You just sound like a commercial when you post >!

If you look at all of "her" posts (assuming it's a she), you'll see that they have nothing to do with what these forums are about. Clearly, I would categorize those posts as spam. What have these people resorted to??

I would rather not hear the chatter, and focus more on x10.

We used to use a thread for getting to know new members (http://forums.x10.com/index.php?topic=13241.0) it hasn't been active for a while now. Maybe.. if dorothy31 is looking for HA friendships... that might be a better place to start.

I wonder also...seems to be a lot of "X10 market speak" present in her posts.

Maybe the spammer could direct us to the program necessary to use pc to tv.

Sorry to bring up and old thread.
I see that X10 carries two product that can be combined to 1. The 1st is the Wireless TV Transmitter, for $49.99 where it can transmit cable TV from one TV to another. The other product is the Wireless PC to TV Sender, also for $49.99. Now let's say if the PC has some kind of TV tuner card in it, one can run the cable to the PC, and just get the PC to TV Sender. Would this work the same way?
Thanks for any info.
Additionally, I wonder what the differences are between a & b in item VK82A:
a) $59.99
What's included:
List Price
1 Wireless PC Transceiver (CM19A) $49.99
1 Remote Control Software (SW42A) $49.99
1 Mouse Remote (UR86A) $49.99
1 Round Video Receiver - used in VK82A (VR46A) $29.99
1 Round Video Sender - used in VK82A (VT46A) $29.99
b) $49.99
What's included:
List Price
1 5-in-1 Remote (UR73A-2) $39.99
1 2.4 GHz Wireless Audio/Video Sender and Receiver (VK82A) $79.99

Probably.
What is the model numbers? The Video Sender takes composite video and audio and send it on 2.4GHz link to a remote receiver connected to monitor input of a TV. If your computer has video out from the tuner (composite from RCA connecter or from "S-video" connector) then yes.
The VK82A is the same in both "deals". X10 plays mix and match with variable prices all the time. If you search the X10 web site you are likely to find the same item at several different prices in the "X10 deals".
-
As you have seen. The VK82A is the part number for the VT46A and VR46A in a kit.
The biggest difference looks like the PC to TV has some software; a CM19A Tranceiver and a different remote. I believe the software and CM19A allows the computer screen to have a GUI Remote on it that can send X10 RF commands to X10 devices with the CM19A and the CM19A can also receive X10 RF commands from a remote. For the computer to maybe process.

Thank you both for replying. It helps!
