ok so i have a ninja and its set to a1. on my remote i tryed seting it to b1 and c1 but the ninja would still pan and tilt. i used the ahcmd.exe command viewer with my cm19a and the commands it sent out were in fact b1 and c1. My question is why does it do this and is tyhere any way to prevent it from doing so.

the reason i ask is becuase i am going to write a program that control winamp with the controls on my x10 remote.

The Ninja base responds to Pan and Tilt commands so long as its power supply is turned on.  The power supply will be on if you send an On command to the Housecode/Unit address set via the power supply code wheels.  If you change the Housecode dial on the remote so it doesn't match the power supply, the Pan and Tilt commands continue to work because the power supply is still On and can't be turned Off by a command from a different housecode.

I think they also default to ON when first powered up.

That will work, or just turn On another unit within the same block of 4.  The X-10 camera and Ninja supply addresses act like radio buttons.  If A1 is On, then turning On any other unit A2 through A4 will cause A1 to turn Off.
