Well you either love 'em or hate 'em.
What? No, I don't have anything constructive to offer.
I'm going, I'm going.
When it comes to HDMI senders, it’s the quality of transmission and ease of set up which generally sets one apart from another. The smart-looking Marmitek Gigaview - yes, it does sound like the name of an Austin Powers villain - does well on both counts. The TX/RX pair sport a curvaceous glossy design and are supplied with …
Expect a lot less if you actually want to use this between rooms. Since not many people have homes more than 10m in any direction it would be better to specify the number of stud walls it can go through. Or brick for you old-fashioned types. People with rocks in their walls know the drill (pun intended)
Come on reviewer! Bit more detail please!
Can you give us an indication of what your walls are made from? Mine are 2 or 3 foot thick stone....
Can you push the system to see how far apart you can get it before it starts dropping or doesn't cope etc. would be a good rounding of the review. Also can you review the picture quality using 2 tvs next to each other, but one using the transmitter, and one the 'through' channel. Any difference? time lag? etc.
I find it very annoying when there are two sound sources (e.g. TVs) and they're a fraction of a second 'off' in timing. Does this apply?
if you have stone walls then you know as well as I do that stone eats wifi. My "n" with stock antennae will not reach through our slightly less than 2ft stone wall and across to the next room (LOS would be about 10m) however with a few 3rd party 7db antennae on the top I can get an "n" signal though. I very much doubt this box will get through stone. Getting it across the same room so that the setup is more "wife friendly" is good though.
I still think cables are the best digital solution, and if you want to get an image from the back of the room to the front then the best solution is a projector, but it's nice to see digital image repeaters not using the same bandwidth range as WiFi - I've lived in fear for some time that one of my neighbours will get a cheap wireless TV device and my surfing bandwidth will disappear.
It's almost progress.
