I had to set the monitor to 480x600 just to get adequate resolution. Others may have had better luck, or my TV is simply too old. The range they claim is also suspect. If you don't have that far to go (on the order of 30-40') it might be OK. The remote mouse has even less range capabilities. Check out an earlier blurb about the X10 remote mouse. skurzet wrote: > Troops: Possible answer to the out-of-sight hardware control > predicament.

Troops: Possible answer to the out-of-sight hardware control predicament. Stumbled over an X-10 blurb http://www.x10.com/products/offer60.htm for an RF remote mouse and 2.4 GHz A/V sender/receiver intended to control a PC DVD player and send the pix/sound to a tv via RF. Price is $70. It occurs to me that this would be a super way to control Slink-e when the PC is in a remote location. The X-10 RF mouse should control the PC. A 1024X768 or better composite NTSC output video adapter or scan converter should send a good PC screen to the local TV or video monitor along with the PC's sounds using the DVD A/V sending facility.
