 Excellent solution to signal interference, 2008-10-13
Previously had audio interference from home wifi router with a transmission system operating at the same 2.4Ghz. This unit solved the problem. High quality signal transmission to tv in home gym in lower level, 70 feet away and through several walls. Highly satisfied with the technology.
RF-Link AVS-5811 A/V System w/IR Repeater good stuff, 2008-10-13
The 5.8GHz of this product makes it ideal when using telephones and/or wireless Internet which run on 2.4GHz frequency. The added feature of the IR repeater is a great addition to this kind of unit. It enables you to change channels, stop;rewind;ff;play;pause, and power up and down your source in the same room as your receiver. This source could be a DVD player, VCR, Cable/satellite box etc. As with ANYTHING wireless, you have occasional interference and static but you do have the ability to choose between one of 4 channels to keep those to a minimum. I'm using the unit in the next room so I can't vouch for the distance of this unit but I am going through one brick wall with no problems. All in all, the pros outweigh the cons.

 Works for video, but creates an IR noise storm., 2008-10-12
These have an issue that can cause an IR storm on the IR mouse end, which can cause issues for sensitive equipment. The infrared upstream re-transmit function is 'stupid'. In other words, it transmits all IR energy that the photo diode gets triggered by; basically an IR storm at the head-end. If you have a tube TV in the receiver location, there is a ton of IR coming off the screen. I found this IR storm (noise) was able to over-ride my DirecTV receiver's living room remote when I used the IR mouse. The receive activity light on the transmitter nearly constantly flickers, even when my TV is off. Even a laptop with an infrared port can cause the receiver to transmit the output of the laptop into my livingroom.
If RF-Link could make this a 'smart' infrared receiver that rejects non-modulated IR signals that fall outside the 'normal' remote control frequencies 36Khz to 56Khz, it would be a much better solution.
It gets three stars simply because it has IR upstream issues that caused me a bunch of extra work. I ended up back at having to install a long wire along the floorboards under my carpet to my URC-9910's receiver and placing it on top of my sofa to get remote control working in my living room from my bedroom. The URC-9910 is 'smart' since it runs on RF and doesn't transmit unless a button is pressed.
By the way, the video WILL flicker out when you walk in between the transmitter and receiver. Your best bet is to mount this as high as possible at both locations. 6 feet or better should do the trick.
Far better than a 2.4 GHz system, 2008-09-19
I used to have a LeapFrog 2.4 GHz system purchased at Best Buy. This product is far superior so far.
Initial impression: Does the job fine, 2008-08-16
We've only had this for a day, but so far so good. The unit is being used as a video baby monitor that's hooked up to a Sony miniDV cam and also our Panasonic 42" plasma. There's some rolling static lines even after changing between the 4 channels and moving the position of the antennas. That gave me memories of the 80s and messing with the old school analog antenna of our TV.
Right now we're in an apartment with probably a mess of signals from neighbors, a worst case scenario in my opinion. We have a 2.4GHz phone and a 802.11b/g network and both seem fine. For our purpose this unit does the job fine, it's great not having to run a 50 ft composite cable from our son's room to the living room now.
