huskernut Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Honestly I bought the whole house xmtr last year and had reception, good reception all around my yard and the street and didnt lose signal until a full block away. I guess I am just lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 seat license is good to know also. I'm currently using a laptop for now temporarily until I get my other PC finished. Once that is finished, I would like to do the sequencing on that instead of this laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hvasta Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I just checked the Mobile Black Box 4000 website (<--) ...the transmitter is now $99.95.. I may just grab one while the price is down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have adjustable output, something I wish my 4000 had.Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the reason not to tell the wife. Actually, 1 controller is a spare just in case of a malfunction at the junction.Otherwise all controllers are to be in the display...................they're just waiting for lights.I put myself on a spot. I have 5 or so people spread across Canada (I don't no any of them personally) making videos for me for the display.I have singer/writers in England & North America needing me to take videos of their songs in the display..........so I need to pull this off.........to many people helping out to not go through with my special project.It will all work out.Canadian Tire had a sale on LEDs here in Leduc, AB and the lights were not sold out when they packed them away................so they should still be on sale when the stock comes back out in late October. $6.00 a string.........they usually are and I buy a whack of them then..............or Costco..............I need white LEDs for the two fans, and red. I have the arch/fan lights for the arch itself, I just need fan lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulXmas Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I bought the Whole House Transmitter and am satisfied with the results.If I can see my lights then I can hear the music!Might have to change to something else because I noticed a couple months ago someone close by is using my frequency to broadcast music!

Bob Hall Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Well, it was a tough choice. I had $600 to spend, but the catch was I had to chose between rebuilding the engine in my '72 LeMans or buying stuff from here. It looks like the LeMans will be sitting for awhile longer. I bought 2 PC card assembled controllers, Standard software and the mini mp3 director. Adding this to the PC card assembled controller I bought during the winter sale, I will be starting off with 48 channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmy Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 So I got my delivery today.... Didn't want to wait the possible 10 weeks for delivery. This is my first purchase. Anyways I was wondering if the starter kit does not come with the software cd. I thought it was just download, but in instructions it mentions the software disc. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidPeterson Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 You can download the software, it's not a big download. This page should help you get your license code.http://lightorama.com/licenseRetrieval.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
