This is a very confusing item. And very little is written anywhere on the use of this product, including the Dept 56 website. Apparently it works with houses that have the Display Anywhere connector.....and I haven't found any of those either.I contacted several dealers of Dept 56 merchandise and got very little information.Again, a great idea.....I would willing purchase additional receivers for all my houses if this only worked like I thought it would.It would have been very helpful if Dept 56 had clear descriptions of what the item is used for and how to use it.For now it is packed away hoping it will be useful down the road if Dept 56 items can use it.
