I bought this because I wanted to view my SKY in my bedroom. From the start it was very easy to set up but I found that the receive signal on the TV picture had interference I tried switching off all ligts in the house that are controlled by dimmer switches. Made no difference. Then realised that the problem was caused by my Netgear ADSL modem had wireless switched on. Disabled wireless and interference disappeared. Dont buy if you use want to use wireless networking in the house..... moderator note: If a customer has a wireless network set up in their property Maplin usually recommend looking at 5.8Ghz senders as these are less likely to clash with the 2.45Ghz network transmission.

In my opinion, this is a great piece of kit. Picture quality is superb. Unfortunately i had to upgrade to a 5.8Ghz model instead because i started to get a lot of interference on this model...I guess the neighbours must be transmitting something new. In terms of pure picture quality this is the best one i've used and considering how cheap it is i'd recommend anyone looking at video senders to try this first before going down the more expensive 5.8Ghz route. Most 5.8Ghz senders use directional antennas so it's extremely difficult to get them perfectly aligned to get a good picture, however this 2.4Ghz model has omni-directional antennas meaning it'll work with the antenna in pretty much any position.

When I first set this up I had so much interference it was virtually unusable, I tired all the channels switched off the wi-fi all to no avail. Before I finally gave up I tried it in the next room; it worked perfectly. I was going to drill a hole in the wall and have the receiver in the next room, no biggie as I have Virgin TV and the remote does not work with this unit according to the instructions. Next day I thought I would give the remote a try (I have the new tivo box) and it works perfectly, all the controls, menus, etc. work fine. I also discovered the source of the interference; it was my Xbox 360 power brick, with that turned off the interference was minimul. The only reason it deos not have 5 stars is because is some interference, not too bad though and is cheaper than getting sky for my xbox.

Had to return this as although well within the stated range of the product (about 15 feet away, one floor up) the picture quality was grainy with scrolling horizontal lines and the audio was very crackly, rendering it pretty much unwatchable. Turning off the wireless did nothing, moving the arials did nothing, switching between the 4 available transmission channels did nothing either.

Since receiving the video sender a couple of weeks ago, I have carried out a number of tests. I am reasonably happy with the results with a standard 625 line TV signal but disappointed that the sender seems unable to cope with the output of a fairly respectable CCTV camera using the 1/4" Sony CCD chip - 537H x 597V, 420 lines, 50Hz. The problem seems to be associated with its inability to sync with a non-standard picture format. Bang goes the idea of using the camera and video sender to monitor bird nests in the garden! Bit of a shame, really.
