Not HDTV but produces an incredible picture. [Posted on 2008-03-27]
I wanted to put a TV in my bedroom but didn't want to run any new cables through the house. So, I had used a few video transmitters in the past and was wondering if they had improved. What could it hurt to try one out. Well, after a lot of research I settled on this product. WOW, was I impressed. I was sure there would be some noticeable effect that this was video being transmitted (like in the old style units). However, there is barely anything that would indicate this. No snow, no lines, no flutters, etc... Once in a blue moon I may notice some quick instance or distortion that reminds me this is a cable less set-up. Other than that the picture is good, the sound is good, and the IR repeater works flawlessly. I am VERY happy with this purchase and am planning on buying a few more receivers for my kitchen TV and my PC. My transmitter and receiver are about 50 feet from each other with 3 walls and some various furniture in between. My microwave oven is between the transmitter and receiver and has never made the slightest glitch in the picture or sound. This is definitely and impressive product and worth every penny.
Works for about short period of time and then cuts out [Posted on 2008-05-26]
Product seemingly works great, however after a short period of time passes it completely stops. Changing the channel and unplugging it doesn't seem to help. I have heard that overheating could be the cause of the problem, but I cannot do anything to get it working properly. It may be the previous model and corrected now.
Piece of Junk [Posted on 2008-06-23]
Cheap unit. Stay away. Didn't even last six months. Only worked if both units were within line of sight of one another.
Initial impression: Does the job fine [Posted on 2008-08-16]
We've only had this for a day, but so far so good. The unit is being used as a video baby monitor that's hooked up to a Sony miniDV cam and also our Panasonic 42" plasma. There's some rolling static lines even after changing between the 4 channels and moving the position of the antennas. That gave me memories of the 80s and messing with the old school analog antenna of our TV.
Right now we're in an apartment with probably a mess of signals from neighbors, a worst case scenario in my opinion. We have a 2.4GHz phone and a 802.11b/g network and both seem fine. For our purpose this unit does the job fine, it's great not having to run a 50 ft composite cable from our son's room to the living room now.
Far better than a 2.4 GHz system [Posted on 2008-09-19]
I used to have a LeapFrog 2.4 GHz system purchased at Best Buy. This product is far superior so far.
