[mythtv-users] Free USB RF remote (just $5.90 for shipping)

[Brian Rumple]

I've ordered a bunch of crap from them.  They ship the items quickly.
The worst thing is that they send their own spam to you quite often.
That is just their marketing strategy along with having continuous 10
hrs sales.  Never buy anything from them unless it is on sell.  If it
isn't when you go one day it probably will be the next.

Anyway the "Card Security Number" request is really added security for
you.  This number doesn't make it onto printed credit card receipts or
your billing statement.  So only anyone holding your card or the
companies you give it to will know it.

I am finding this more and more often when ordering from the web.

Anybody deal with X10 before?  I know they're widely known, but just how

reputable are they?  I ask because when you check out they ask for your 
"Card Security Number" (the 3-digit code after your credit card number 
on the back of your card) and the issuing bank's phone number.  Am I 
the only one that finds this rather unusual?
