Hoodwinked by Amazon1
THIS IS ONLY THE TRANSMITTER, NOT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. If you search for AVS-5813 you will find the REQUIRED, companion receiver for this item. Amazon does NOT tell you this, but you will figure it out when you receive the item, open up the box to find a completely plain white box, and only 1 unit inside.

Hopefully my comments will prevent some other poor shmuck from thinkg they are getting a great deal only to find they have to pay twice as much for a working system.

I will write another review when I receive my receiver and try out the units.

Junk1
This product would be great - if it worked.

I bought this product and it worked great... as advertised... I loved it. Audio, video, IR (remote) worked and were clear. One morning, about 45 days after I bought it, it just stopped working. Assuming the problem was environmental, I had the unit extensively tested by an A/V pro. It was clearly the unit. So I contacted the manufacturer and sent it back. I had high hopes that I just got a lemon, and the next unit would be fine.

The second unit failed within two days (different type of failures). Again I had it checked out, and had the setup and placement checked thoroughly - I mean, what are the odds that two units would fail? Once again, defective equipment, and once again I sent it back.

Third unit lasted a couple of weeks - then failed.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I have extensive A/V experience and love the idea of this product. Don't buy a product that will fail in a couple of days or months. Find another solution.

Great...While It Lasts2
Similar to another reviewer's experience, I really like this unit (and its receiver unit), but there's a caveat. It works well sending signal from my TiVo in the living room to my office, where I have a TV monitor and the audio running through a decent sound system on the computer. However, after a few months, both of the units I've bought have died. I'm to the point now where I'm looking for alternatives, but so far I'm coming up with nothing else comparable in functionality. I really like the capability to use the TiVo remote from the office. When it works. :(
