ARIES Home Wireless HD Video Digital Transmitter & Receiver

Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on October 27, 2015):

I followed FredB's advice, and everything works well. I'm

sending the stream from my DVR in the living room through a

splitter to the NAVS500. It transmits to my exercise room on

the lower floor, where the InfraRed adapter allows full

control of the DVR from downstairs. I've got everything

downstairs - TV, audio, and the NAVS500 receiver - one one

power strip, I turn the strip on and everything syncs fine.

Upstairs I put the transmitter on Standby to save power when

it's not needed - the transmitter needs to be back to full

function before the receiver (the downstairs power strip) is

turned on. The warning in the manual about moving things too

much once it's on seems to be true, turn the receiver off and

then on again if you reposition things and lose the signal.

If things don't seem to work, turn all off, turn the

transmitter on, then turn the receiver on.

I've had this for a couple of weeks now. The NAVS500 has been

flawless, but THE FIRST HDMI SPLITTER I GOT FAILED. Amazon

refunded, and I re-ordered the same one, I thought, because

the reviews were good (when they worked). The splitters have

the same name, but are sold by different vendors - the one

that works is (2-Port 1-in, 2-out HDMI Certified Amplified

Splitter with Power Sold by: MarginMart, Inc.), which has a

US power plug. The original one that didn't work (it worked

sporadically, but could take several minutes, then it failed

entirely) had a European power plug that needed a (supplied)

adapter - this bad one was (2-Port 1-in, 2-out HDMI Certified

Amplified Splitter with Power Sold by: YNF Trading Inc.) I

don't know if MarginMart and YNF Trading are the same, but

I'd choose MarginMart when ordering again.
