The web page mentioned showed them in stock today, but I called and verified. Customer service said they were in stock on an inventory that is updated each hour. I am hopeful ....
P.S. First post - long time lurker - thanks for all your help!

Just FYI, I just checked the Busy Beaver site. They have a $25 minimum order requirement, so you'd need to order at least 4 HT-Pros to meet that minimum. When I went through the motions of placing an order for 4 remotes, the shipping charge that shows up for me is $15.94 making the order total $46.58 (ie, $11.65 per remote).

Okay so the one from x10 http://www.x10.com/electronics/allcateg ... 312bb.5b01
Universal URC-9811B00 Home Theater LCD Remote Control
is the same even though the picture is different? Can anyone verify this that has ordered it. Seems strange to me. And it comes with the RF extender? And it is JP1 correct?
Thanks,
Steve

There are many posts about it. I think the few people who got them indicated they were all that they were supposed to be.
BUT x10 continued to take orders long after the remotes were all gone.
I placed my order well before they were all gone but they had a computer error in shipping it, then messed up further until none were available. I never received anything and took much time and an argument with Discover before it was removed from my credit card bill.
That was a wonderful deal for those few who actually got the remotes. But x10 customer service after they've made a mistake is nill.
My understanding from other threads is that on the sales side they STILL claim it is in stock and take your order and charge your credit card.

Found them for $40 shipped at ebuyer.com. They have 53 in stock.

pricegrabber.com is a great place to find cheep stuff if you guys don't know about it. They list 16 sellers all with prices in or near the $40s.
It isn't $8 like x10 but I think that is what I am going to do unless one of you who bought a bunch of them want to contact me to sell me one, anybody?

As John says, there is another thread or two about HTPro.
The latest I saw was Rob's note that BlueDo bought a whole mess or all of them and is selling them on e-bay for 10 or close to it. Search the forum, or look in the hardware section.
Yes, it's 9910 like in the picture in this thread.
Yes, it has RF.
Yes, it has jp1, uses the same tools and settings as 8910.
I risked getting mine from x10 before all the ugly trouble started. Their site looked disreputable. I think it is. They'll never see me as a customer again even though they shipped quickly and caused me no trouble this time.
