1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Great Unit at Great Price. Two items are needed to transmit and receive. One transmitter and one Receiver each at specific price. I bought both each at separate ocassion, but seller was great in expediting order at no additional charge. Items Work great. Thanks
 Perfect A/V transmissions / useless for IR July 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought a separate unit for handling the remote control transmissions, so the problems with the units weak IR functionality are not relevant to my setup. I do take one star off for having to use a separate unit for the remote, but the A/V transmits clearly and dependably, right out of the box. The setup was way easier than many more expensive solutions I have worked with. Highly recommended.
 High Hopes - Major Issue July 12, 2008

I was hoping that this was going to be the solution for a difficult issue to address. Setup was a breeze and the product appeared to work as expected.
Here is my setup: TV is 9.5 feet in the air, sitting on ledge. Utilizing a large piece of furniture near the TV, I was able to position the receiver and transmiter within three feet of each other (yet still not in line of sight). I connected a DVD player to the transmitter, and receiver to the TV. DVD quality was great.
Pleased with my setup, took the ladder down and switched back to the TV (from Input 1). Much to my surprise, nothing on the TV station. Switched to the next station, fine, back two - fine. Then started flipping through and some worked, others didn't (if it was out - I was getting a blue screen - not static or interference).
Set the ladder back up and climbed up - went to a station that didn't work. If I moved the receiver around, a station would partially come in (but not even close to being good). So, I started troubleshooting:
1) Shut off the transmitter, nothing.
2) Unplugged all of the connections (minus power) from the receiver, nothing.
3) Moved the receiver 6 ft from the TV (still only plugged into power), nothing.
Not until after I unplugged the receiver (from power) did the stations immediately come back.
Also - there was bad interference when using the remote to change the TV stations and adjust the volume - large amounts of static when on any station (DVD mode - Input 1 as well).
I would give this a 5 if it didn't have this side effect. Even if it is my TV (which is only a couple of years old - a Sharp 27"), it isn't practical for me to purchase a new TV to address this issue. Its obvious that this receiver is putting off some sort of signal that the TV is really not happy with.
So I'm giving it a 2 and sending the unit back for refund. Really a shame, because I was really hoping this was going to work. This is not a practical solution for me, since I can't reach 9ft in the air to flip the power switch on the receiver. Concept is great - execution is poor (at least for me).
Works great with Tivo! March 20, 2008

Works great with Tivo. We transmit our Tivo signal using this system and after purchasing a few extra receivers we can now watch everything on our Tivo all over the house. We even take a receiver and small TV out on the deck in the summer so we can watch tivo everywhere with no need to buy an extra Tivo box or monthly subscription.
It's also important to remember that you can listen to the music saved on your computer through your main stereo system wirelessly as long as you have a Tivo connected. This allows us to stream music all over the house simultaneously. I highly recommend buying this system.
So far, so good. February 10, 2008
