"Perfect for bedside video operation"

I've had this product for more than a year and it is now indispensable to me. I bought it for setting up a bedroom video system with a ceiling hung TV and DVD player etc at waist height. Running the wires all over without creating a trip hazard was a real challenge until I found this product. But now I have even more need for it... I had an operation and will be bedridden for at least 2 months. So before the surgery I set up a bookcase next to the bed and arranged my DVR, D-Link Medialounge player, and an interface to my laptop for Netflix movies. Then I linked them all to the RF-Link sending unit via the DVR. It works flawlessly. The antennae don't even have to face each other; the sender has even fallen off the bookcase and still sent video to the TV while hanging upside down near the floor. A couple times over the year I had to ask my tall neighbor to unplug the receiving unit then replug it - needed resetting for some reason - but that happened only twice in about 18 months of almost daily use. And it never interferes with wireless signals - the Medialounge, laptop wireless, cell phones, cordless phones, and wifi enabled PDAs are often used within a foot or so of the sending unit, which is always on. This is a good use of your money if you want to eliminate all those wires. If I had a suggestion that would be to add s-video and maybe HDMI video capability.
"Never Been So Impressed"

Like many others who have reviewed this product, I was skeptical when I bought it. But shortly after hooking it up, I find that I have never been so impressed with a gadget I have bought.
The problem I wanted to solve was that I have a Directv DVR receiver in the basement, and I wanted to watch the shows I recorded on it in my bedroom upstairs (I live in a townhouse). I did not want to purchase another DVR receiver since I like having my recorded shows on one unit rather than on two.
After research I chose this product. The customer ratings are what sold me. Shipping was fast and setup was a breeze - just plug in the rca plug on either end of each unit, plug it in and switch it on! I pointed my basement unit's antenna up about 45 degrees to get it in the general direction of the TV upstairs and adjusted the upstairs unit to point in the general direction of the downstairs one. It worked immediately. Several reviews have noted signal interruption when someone walks in the path of the signal. There is no signal interruption for me because both tvs are on the same wall of the house. What is amazing to me is the distance at which it is working with no problem. through 2 floors and a wall! Even better, the remote control IR to RF to IR works fine from that distance as well. Some remote commands have not been picked up on the first push, but after some adjusting with the mouse, I have had no failure that have been constant.
A couple of notes. Video quality is not HD, its more like VHS quality. But what do you expect with a wireless setup? Plus my upstairs tv is not the latest technology available. Also, this costs about as much as another DVR unit would be, but I opted for this for the convenience of having all my shows in one box not two.

Instructions mentioned to aim the antennae directly at each other. We adjusted for a week and still were not satisfied. The units were no more than 8'- 10' apart and the sound still cracked and popped. When anyone walked between the units, the picture quality was bad.
Having owned the same type of product a number of years ago, I had low expectations for this product. I actually purchased it with the expectation I would end of returning it due to poor signal quality. My experience was quite the opposite. Once I lined up the antennas to roughly face each other (I was using this to transmit cable TV from the main level to an upstairs bedroom in the far corner of the house) the picture quality was almost as good as a direct line. I changed the channel on both units and got a perfect picture. Very clear with no interference. Sound quality was also excellent. The IR transmitter also worked one aligned with your source unit. I can easily recommend this product as it simply works as advertised.

Works like it says. Decent value for price. Audio and picture quality is great, just slight drop in quality from original source. Only problem was getting the remote control to work but once I set it up properly, no problems. I had to place the IR mouse at the transmitter location directly in front of my Direct TV receiver so it could read the signals, it helps to have someone help you with this. One person can be at the remote (receive) location pushing the remote while the second person is at the original (transmit) location placing/moving the IR mouse to where it works.
