I think you said that you are linking your LCD monitor to a PC. If so, then
why
not put a TV card in the PC and just use a monitor cable up to the LCD. You
will
need to use separate speakers too.

Good stuff thats what I like to hear - just waiting for Keith to sell me a
fix.

Was trying to scrimp and save by slapping a normal LCD monitor to the wall
and buying a unit to go svideo/scart -> VGA(like <a href="http://www.rgbtosvideo.com/";>http://www.rgbtosvideo.com/</a>
unfortunately it wont work cheap compatibility ) .... This in principal is
stupid due to the frequency shifts of source and taregt - looks like I'll
just have to get a cheap LCD TV grrrr.

> I currently have 1 transmitter and 3 receivers. The quality is at
least as
good as having hard-wired scart throughout the house. I use fairly high
spec
wire but only standard CAT5 sockets and patch panel. There is absolutely no
interference or degradation. If you are looking at multiple sources then I
believe there is a switcher under development that might be of interest.
