I emailed orders at snapstream.com and asked what I'd be getting if I
ordered that product.  I got a very prompt, frank reply, copied below. 
I'm quite satisfied with that, and I'll be placing my order shortly.

The disclaimer is there for legal reasons relating to resale. Given the
legal constraints, all I can say is that the images are correct and you
will be satisified with your purchase.

Greetings,

Reading http://store.yahoo.com/snapstreammedia/irblascabpac.html I see
an image of the Actisys IR-200L (precisely the same image, except scaled
down, as in http://www.actisys.com/ac200-220.html).  The SnapStream
product says, however:

        NOTE:This product does NOT include an Actisys IR-200L -- this
        product is only designed to work with SnapStream Personal Video
        Station. So only buy this if you want to use it with SnapStream!

I'm wondering, what product is the IR blaster in the IR Blaster Cable
Pack?  Is the image on that page not accurate?  I just want to make sure
what I'm getting before I order.

Thanks for your help,
Jason.
