Made my first purchase at zwave4u.com:
- - 1x tricklestar usb adapter for my core (a test pc atm)
- - 1x tricklestar remote control to use as SIS for adding devices to the z-wave network
and at lichtchef.de: (good experience so far)
- - 1x Merten 508519
- - 1x Merten 508619
I am going to test these devices when they arrive, this will enable me to learn more about z-wave and mce.

Purchased an Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-4000 at www.informatique.nl. I will use this to test analog cable, analog A/V and possibly sattelite reception. This will also allow me to check out MythTV and/or VDR. I will also try to make the EPG work for the Netherlands.
I am also looking to purchase an USB-UIRT to control my equipment, but these are hard to come by in the Netherlands.
By the way: the lichtchef.de Merten stuff is on it's way from Germany!
When all devices above are in my posession i think i will have enough to make a realistic test setup with LinxMCE.
