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. http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...oductId=112094 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 got the Phillips version of the video sender and I find it works very
well - I even bought one for my Dad. http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...oductId=112094 I've heard that the signal quality can be badly effected by digital DECT phones and wireless networks. Do you have either of these? |

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... "Gareth Jones" wrote in message ...
