RE: Re: Amazing Breakthrough... (don't get too excited, it's just more wireless hype)

same as with current video senders? i.e, to allow you to watch on any
TV in the house?

If so, then it's more of a reasonable idea, but poor solution.





I agree, but the range of this thing is being quoted as 10 metres - and
given that the ranges quoted for wireless kit are usually a bit on the
fantasy side, I'd expect real world of less than 8m  - which makes it for
use within a very small area.



I ran an HDMI cable from my upstairs node zero down to the living room -
and
it was an easy DIY job. Cut an access hatch, drilled some holes, ran the
cable, plastered it up behind me. In return for a little work and
disruption, I have an absolutely rock solid, 100% reliable solution that I
can retaks for other equipment as required.



Wireless has a place, but so does Wired - and this  strikes me as 95% Wired
country.
