Re: New wireless entertainment solution ??



<< This is how I think it works. From what I can see the hand held
unit
connects to the PC at 433Mhz, and it acts as a kind of advanced remote
control for your PC. The base station unit connects to your Com port and
takes your video signal output and sound output from the PC to allow
distribution across existing coax. >>

Looking at it, it's just an RF modulator and a 433MHz serial tx/rx pair for
hardware, and some software to control the PC.  You can buy the 433MHz
serial devices at http://www.maplin.co.uk and Girder (http://www.girder.nl)
will control your PC from the signals you send.  All you need is a GUI
which
looks nice on TV like Talisman (http://www.lighttek.com).
