Product Review (submitted on June 30, 2019):

A new 4k TV was installed in an area that does not have cable. The Nyrius Transmitter and Receiver looked like a perfecting solution. The transmitter and cable box is in another room about 30' from the receiver. After scanning the installation instructions and connecting everything, there was no video on the new 4k TV. So I went back and reread the instruction and gradually, through trial and error, got video on the TV screen. It was 1080i and looked good. But not as good as my TV that is connected directly to the cable box. I tried to change to another station but the RF blaster was not working. After going into the room the cable box is in and confirming the remote changes the cable box as it should, I again reviewed the instruction and eventually noticed the blaster cable has two blocks on the cable and one side of each block is longer than the other. The long side of the blocks must point toward the cable box. OK now all is working and channels will change although sometimes it takes multiple tries.Some times when I turn on the receiver with the remote no video comes up. Occasionally I have unplugged power at the receiver and tried again and it works. After it comes on the video is usually good but occasionally the video disappears for a few seconds and then comes back, repeating every 3 or 4 minutes. Irritating when watching sports.The latest problem I am experiencing is a repetitive ZZZZT sound that occurs for 1 or 2 seconds every 10 to 15 seconds. I have tried isolating the problem by using input 2 at the transmitter, by switching to another HDMI input at the 4k TV, by changing to another station, etc. But the audible noise persists.Based on my experience I would not recommend this product. It works but is very finicky and has an audio problem that is irritating.
