Superb!
Was previously using a 2.4ghz Digisender. Despite changing the broadcast channels on my own router to get rid of any interference as more and more wirless networks pop up around the neighbourhood my TV in my loft conversion was becoming unwatchable.
Ordered this item as the frequency is out of the range of wireless networks and it works a treat. Was set up in 5 minutes and the picture quality and sound frankly is superb. It is broadcasting through 2 floors and through 2 rather thick walls and it's like watching TV on the main set.
Nothing seems to interfere with it, not wireless internet, microwaves or anything. well worth the money. Remote extender works fine as well.
I am trying to find additional recievers though, for other tvs though. If anyone can help me there I'd be eternally grateful :D
Works well
This video sender works in my house transmitting from the Sky box in the front downstairs room to the first-floor rear bedroom extension. I'm impressed!
The picture quality is good and interference is rare (I normally use channel 2 or 3 of the 8 available as occasionally channel 1 has interference, the others don't). The sound quality is also good enough to put through my studio speakers when I put a music channel on.
I have a cordless phone base unit in the same room as the sender and I use a handset in the same room as the video receiver unit and there is no interference for either unit when in use.
I have two wireless routers in the house, neither is affected by the video sender when I'm using my computer wirelessly, neither is the tv picture / sound.
When I set the video sender up, I was surprised to see in the manual that the correct direction for the antennae to face is with the bevelled side pointing towards the receiver and vice-versa. Somehow it seemed more logical to me for the flat side to be the correct direction!
As the other reviewers have noted you will probably need some from of scart splitter. Both the switched and non-switched versions didn't suit my requirements as I wanted to simply be able to send the Sky box output to the video sender whilst still being able to watch the Sky box on the main tv downstairs. I found a thru-scart adapter that also splits the audio and composite video connecters that then directly connects to the phono connections of the video sender. Perfect!
Met the criteria
Bought to use the TV in the bedroom and lounge. Does what it says on the box.
