Product Review (submitted on August 8, 2016):

Sticker shock but worth it even with the minor inconveniences, Setup was easy, range and quality is fantastic. Connectivity is a little buggy but that is situational.
I believe I am stretching the limits of this transmitter. I am transmitting from the downstairs living room into an upstairs bedroom so I am going through a few walls and a floor.
It takes a few tries to get it connected but once it connects it displays the video first then about 1 to 2 seconds later the audio pops in. Not an issue for me.
Other reviewers have mentioned the audio delay being an issue while changing channels watching tv but I don't see how that could be a problem as I have only noticed the audio delay when the transmitter first connects after being powered on.
Other reviewers have also mentioned that you can power the receiver unit off of the USB port on your tv. Although I tried this and was able to get a connection, I would not reccomend it because the unit requires approximately 2amps to function properly and most USB connections on a television only have the capability to output 1 to 1.5 amps.
Connecting this device to the USB on your tv could possibly damage your tv and/or the receiver, unit also the lower power will affect signal strength too.
Just stick with the included power adaptor. It is specifically designed for this unit.
I did notice during my initial setup and testing that the receiver got really hot almost to the point it was too hot to touch. But I'm never going to have to touch it so I'm not too worried about it.
I gave it 4 out of 5 because it is not perfect but there are SO many variables that any device that is designed to do this is almost impossible to work perfectly. No technology is perfect.
I would highly reccomend this to someone else. -Verified Store
