Product Review (submitted on October 27, 2015):
The picture is flawless. I am transmitting 60 feet from the
back to the front of the house. I just plugged the Nyrius in
and it worked from the get-go.
My situation: About 40 feet away from the transmitter/cable
box is a kitchen wall, and there is an opening in that wall
to the front room. So I do not have a direct line of sight by
any stretch of the imagination. In fact, I am transmitting
diagonally through the entire house with counters, a sink and
a refrigerator in between.
You always hold your breath a little when you buy a product
like this because it depends on wireless transmission.
Everybody's situation is different with the walls, plaster
vs. drywall, distance and objects that might get in the way.
All I can say is that this product is a winner. I always knew
if it didn't work it is always returnable, so you should
definitely try it if you are unsure. Many people wrote
reviews where their obstacles and/or distance were far worse
than mine.
Make sure you get one Nyrius HDMI 1.4 high speed cable which
Nyrius sells for $9.99 each (a steal). You automatically get
one in the box to connect for the transmitter, but you also
need another one for the receiver. Most of us have the 1.3
standard at home which is standard issue HDMI - other
reviewers already noted that standard (1.3) won't work -
thankfully I read that before I bought.
Remember that when you transmit the cable signal from a cable
box, it shows the channel that you have set on that cable box
from where you are transmitting. So if you really need to
watch different tv shows on the two different tv's, you will
probably end up renting an extra cable box for about $10/mth
(Comcast price) from your cable provider just for this
purpose. Remember: if you had that tv hard-wired with cable
to begin with, you would have needed to rent an extra cable
box anyway.
Bottomline: If you want to watch high-def 1080p cable in a
place where you cannot wire up a cable, then this is the
product you want.
