I just got my "TV Lover Mystery Fun Bag" and have got to say that I got my $19.99 worth.
It comes with "The Big Picture", "Mouse Remote kit" and "Lola Remote"
The Big Picture is an X10 video sender and receiver and a universal remote. It also has a VGA to RCA composite video-out adapter with vertical and horizontal adjustment. I tried the receiver with my X-10 camera and it receives fine! I would assume that the sender/receiver would work to make a wired camera wireless. It also is the older design, with just an AC cord, not a wall transformer, which I like better in these days of large plugs and small power strips! The difference between this and the newer video sender is no built-in IR Pyramid extender.
The mouse remote kit comes with a universal remote and some type of RF adapter for the PC that connects via 9-pin or mini mouse plug.
The Lola remote looks like another universal remote.
My conclusion: Just a receiver is worth it - Buy one now! >!

No problem, Dave. A deal like this, I had to share. ;D
I tried the remote mouse today. The software says for Windows 95 and 98 only... I just connected the serial mouse receiver and Windows XP recognized it as a serial mouse. That's it. It worked. The harder you push the touch pad, the faster the mouse pointer moves.
And to top it off, the remote does 8 devices! I had it working for my TV, the remote mouse and my X10 modules. :)%
