Best quality wireless video sender?
 

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a wireless video sender with
the following functionality. Could anyone recommend any
specific kit?

* Ideally not 2.4GHz because of the potential for
interference.

* Possibly transmit multiple channels and distribute
them over multiple TV channels at the receiving
end.

* Generic remote control support.

* Stereo audio.

* Extensible. I.e., add more receivers as and when
required.

* Small footprint.

Price isn't really an issue, but somewhere between
£50 to £100 would be ideal.

Any feedback would be *greatly* appreciated folks.

Hi Louis,

I've got the Phillips version of the video sender and I find it works very
well - I even bought one for my Dad.

It works with Sky + but you have to use the remote extenders and it's about
90% accurate with them. With standard Sky it's like having the box in your
other room.

It can be extended by one other receiver and have two AV inputs, e.g .you
can watch SKY or your DVD player on your remote screen -the only downside is
that switching between AV signals is manual (no 'real' problem).

I've got a Netgear DG834 wireless modem router slap bang next to the video
sender and it doesn't cause any problems at all.

Scart link-up means stereo is transferred also.

Hope this helps.

I've heard that the signal quality can be badly effected by digital DECT
phones and wireless networks. Do you have either of these?

I've got both a cordless digital phone and an 802.11g wireless router slap
bang next to the unit and it's Ok for me.

Anyone know where to buy an extra receiver ??

Argos did do them, but they're not on their web site.

Check out the Phillips site maybe.

They're around £30-£40 i think...
