Be informed that even though the ad states that there are two different models available, the only one you can order through this sale is the VGA connection model. Even though I clearly indicated in the comments section of the order form which model I needed, they still sent the "VGA" model instead of the "Composite In/Out" model. In this ad there are no separate SKU#'s to indicate what you are trying to order. Trying to get it corrected was a fruitless nightmare of rude emails telling me it was all my fault and clueless phone support personnel as to what a "composite video out" even was. I finally gave up since it would be cost prohibitive to return it. I'll just wait till its on sale again, but not in the "Goldmine" section.

I agree - that ad is _very_ misleading regarding the different models.  It should clearly state that only the VGA model is on sale.

If X-10 refuses to make good at _their_ expense, I'd be inclined to dispute the charge with the credit card company, enclosing a printout of the ad and your order form.
