Where was the review of this unit?
I read the review only to find it was all general commentary and no review. Disappointing. Nonetheless, many will find this product perfect for their needs. Our home was built 3 years ago with a built in theatre room, pre-wired for a projector, but surprisingly, only with component vid cables, no HDMI. I'm not sure what handyman was asked for quotes in the review, but here in Vancouver, the cost would have been close to $1000 to tear through our ceiling, duct work, walls etc. Plus, if we move, that's a sunken cost. So for our purpose, where a single HDMI input/output is all that's needed, connected to a A/V receiver, this is perfect.
But does it work? Many previous attempts by other manufacturers, namely Sony's, have been disappointing.
We purchased this from Future Shop in Canada (owned by Best Buy) for $499 list ($100 cheaper than the US). Plugged it in, turned it on, and it works flawlessly. 1080p transmission, no loss of signal or delays etc, it works as stated. The distance is about 15 feet, so longer distances may not work as well, but this works as promised. We're pleased.
Will the price drop? I'm sure it will, but for our situation, and for others who have a unique situation requiring wireless, this works.
