Digital transmission my ****. An 8Mbps real time modulator/demodulator would cost ten times this.

My experience with AA has been pretty poor so far, the wireless headphones are carp, anyone actually used these??

I have to say these are not very good i found the signal quality to be pretty poor and i only live in a small flat.
although if you have no walls they are very good

really? how much did you pay for it and where did you get it out of interest?

you say it had a weak signal, what were you using and did it work at all or intermitently or?

please give some further info before i purchase this for my mum

do you know of any alternatives as everything i can find is well over 30 quid and they all seem the same unless you jump up in price

Here is the only currently available consumer digital transmitting device.

Nope, just the knowledge that these are limited to a maxium power [100mW if memory serves], use AM modulation for the video, which is inherently suscceptible to white speckles, signal fading by moving objects and wasteful in power, and send composite video, a poor choice for picture quality from even the cheapest modern source.

Because they all us the same fundamentally limited technology, they can be catagorically branded as crap, crap by design.

Spend on cables, it is the only way currently to move quality pictures to other rooms. Soon (in about 3 years) there will be digital wireless cable replacements, but curretntly you are looking at £800 for a distance of a few metres, so cable it and be done.

like i said you are comparing completely different products

my mum isnt an audiophile or a technojunkie she simply wants to watch her sky box in her bedroom with out paying a subscription for it .......

its 17.99.....what do you want for this kind of money?

if the person who already has 1 of these can digress a little and explain whats he has been using it for etc etc it would be appreciated

The descrition says ths device is digital. Which it clealry isn't that the point of my first post. A post which you disputed.

I wan't something that will not make deafening hissy noises at midnight as the signal drops out.

As in my post these are all the same power limit, in fact probably use the same chips from China. This example is also sold as the Philex AV Sender. In fact the lack of positional antennas probably makes this particular model an inferior choice.

Do you think you could run a cable for £17.99?

WG47

Not to mention that these are 2.4ghz, so whenever you or the neighbours use the microwave it'll wreck the picture. Sure, nobody uses their microwave 24/7, but what frequency do 90% of wireless routers broadcast at or around? You got it, 2.4ghz.

Maybe 5 years ago there were decent, but I can see a half dozen wireless networks from where I'm sitting. I'd imagine most people living in urban environments have a similar number of visible wi-fi networks.

Not a good solution at all, unfortunately.

i didnt dispute it at all i said you are comparing 2 different products which you subsequently proved when you posted the hdmi thing for a thousand dollars!

if this isnt digital what is it exactly? analogue?

a cable isnt an option which is why i was looking for something like this which has a saving on the other similar products i can find....can you help me find something cheaper?

yes this isnt the best product for sending hi def transmisions etc but when my mum is in bed watching a 19" screen i dont suppose it matters for £17.99

i cant find that philex 1 for less than £30 either......dont bother posting 29.99 either

out of interest how come all these things dont afect me using my wirelss controller for ps3 or affect my laptops wireless capablilites or any other stuff i have as i have heaps of stuff using 2.4ghz.....how come they dont interfere with each other but they all will with this thing?

It's exactly what I described two posts above, VSB AM with FM audio.

No matter how much you spend, they are all the same inside, and none of them work well, so no.

casparwhite:

It's not HD capable. It's not SD capable either. So £17.99 or £1.79 makes no difference.

casparwhite:

OK, my point was that these are all basically the same inside, price and brand irrelevant.

You PS3 and wifi use a digital transmission which has data protection bits and error correction code.
