Expands your viewing capability! [Posted on 2007-06-02]
I bought this to replace another brand. I have wireless networking for my computer in my home. The other brand got terrible reception because it transmitted on the same frequency as my computer network and my cordless phones. This transmitter is on a different frequency and it sends a crystal clear picture to the TV in my garage. Great quality product.
Works well... [Posted on 2008-01-01]
This product is the best consumer product available for this type of A/V transmission. Using the 5.8MHz band keeps it free of the dreaded microwave oven interference, as well as interference from most cordless telephones. The picture is good, though not perfect. But it's more than adequate for all but the largest TVs (great for a kitchen-sized screen). Be sure to experiment with all four channels to find the one that works best.
The only glitch I have found is with the power. Occasionally the A/V link would fail and I would have to restart either the sender or the receiver, depending on which one failed. Also, occasionally the channel selection would change spontaneously on one unit or the other, thus breaking the link. I solved both of these problems by installing small APC battery backups on both sender and receiver unit. I think electrical storms were at the root of both problems. Since then, I haven't had a single recurrence. I've used these units now for over two years.
We don't use the IR link because we have a different one (made by RCA) that works well and serves other devices not connected by the AVS-5811/5813.
Almost Perfect [Posted on 2008-01-03]
My original review was a 5 but after a couple of weeks of use I have had to lower it to a 4. The picture is great but the remote extension isn't up to par with the picture. Some days it works great and other days it won't work at all. Most of the time it is in between and the channel will change when you want except instead of going one channel at a time it starts going through a loop till it gets tired and stops on a random channel. I've also figured out that when using the normal tv source I have to shut off the transmitter in order for the remote on that tv to work properly. The main thing though is that the picture transmitted from the living room to the bedroom is great and the remote issues are simply an inconvenience. This is only a temporary set up for a few months and does what we needed.
So far, so good. [Posted on 2008-02-10]
Sometimes the remote extender isnt as good as it should be, but the video and audio quality is great. Lets hope it last a few years
Works great with Tivo! [Posted on 2008-03-20]
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.
