What type of camera. Wired or wireless.
i have tried all of the 3 cameras that i have and switch to different chanel and such. but no luck.
Do any of the three cameras work?

mrscary,
I would start by checking the following
1. Make sure the channel on both the receiver and camera are the same. (A,B,C)
2. Make sure that the house code on both the palm pad and camera are the same.
3. Make sure that the unit code on the camera is the same as the one you are selecting with the palm pad.
4. Make sure you have power to both the camera and the receiver.
5. Verify all of the cable connections between the receiver and the TV.
7 If the TV has more than one video input, make sure you have selected the correct one.
8. If you are using a VCR to take the input to the TV, make sure it is set up correctly.
9. I would start with the camera close to the receiver until you get this problem worked out to eliminate any interference problems.

JIMC,
thanks for the help..
I've checked everything, and everything seems to hook up fine. like i said on my first post, i installed this at my old house before, and everthing was working FINE.
I've hooked everthing up the same as i did at my old house. i wonder if the transceiver is bad, but ust for a test, i plug a blowdryer on the bottom of and it has power. Now, do i need to reprogram the remote control? But mainly i just want to use only one camera. and the intruction are so easy to mess up, but it's not working out for me.

Make sure that the TM751 and camera are on the same house code. To test everything out I would plug everything into the same outlet just to make sure there is no problem with the signal not moving between phases.
-
Forget about the TM751. With only one camera and the video receiver it should display the camera.
The camera's addressable power supply, defaults to on when first plugged in. Unplug it and then plug it back in.
Like JimC said in step 9 bring the 2 unit close together when testing.

Just thought of something that I should have added to my list of things to check. This is obvious but that is the type of thing I usually over look. Make sure the output switch on the video receiver is set to the same channel as your TV. I believe the options are channel 3 and 4.

i thought it would work just like billy explain, but it's not, i carefully checked everthing. try different camera, outlet, etc!! since i have 3 cameras. also follow instruction from http://www.x10.com/instructions/one_cam.htm. I also have friends look over with me. we still cant get this going.. tomorrow i will try it on a better newer tv , but i don't think it's the tv..
thanks guys, will let you know what happend.

I think I can Help. Most likely you have interference problems.
I just posted the following message under "Interference of X-10 Equipment" thread: Interference of X-10 Equipment (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=5852.msg57428#msg57428)
