Re: Cheap RF X10 controller?

["Eamon O Gorman" <eamonogorman@xxxxxxx>]

I was in london for the weekend, and rememberred previous posts about
cheap=
X10 packs at B&Q. Spent as much time as I could (without upsetting
wife=
y)
looking for B&Q's to see if they had any x10 starter packs. Found 1
sta=
rter
pack containing 1*bayonet module, 1 * lamp module, 1* rf receiver and 1
Marmitec x10 remote for 55 quid. THought it was a good bargain, but not
so<=
BR>
sure having seen this mail. Did'nt really want the bayonet, but the
remote<=
BR>
and rf receiver was on the wish list. I oalready had rf receiver and
keyfob=
,
but wanted a proper remote. The x10/rf part of the remote works all over
th=
e
house (2100sq ft, which I did'nt think it would). Only thing is, I cant
get=
it to work sky digital ?

   I was thinking about a pronto or something, but this does'nt
d=
o rf for
x10, and I'm getting an XDA in a few weeks, which can be used as a
learning=
remote.

  Is there any really good all in one remote that does x10 rf, and
pro=
not
type stuff ?
