/dev/null Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 This will probably get bumped to Consumer Digest, but it's worth starting here Anyone have suggestions for a wireless HDMI receiver I can hook up to one of my DirecTV boxes so I can watch TV in my bedroom without having to run cable?

We are about to move into a condo so this could be a great solution allowing us to put a tv anywhere without having to worry so much about where the cable jacks are.

Unit looks pretty cool as it allows to to keep your regular wired connection, but then wirelessly bridge the signal elsewhere. My question is how do you change channels from the remote unit?

birdog1960 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Unit looks pretty cool as it allows to to keep your regular wired connection, but then wirelessly bridge the signal elsewhere. My question is how do you change channels from the remote unit? there's a transponder, i think, that does what you want. never used it as it controlled only 1 tv in the same room in my application. one of the engineers for brite view monitors the threads at avs forum dealing with their products. you can ask him there or at the forums on the co web site. one other minor problem i had was extreme cold in the attic - it doesn't work well in it. and this was confirmed by brite view. the problem i had with recognition was that sometimes the picture would scale at the wrong resolution (usually 480p) instead of 1080p but i could fix it by toggling back and forth between cable box and bluray input options on the unit. never figured out if that was a problem with my receiver of the wireless hdmi box. i still have this happen rarely with a hard wired set up. anyway, overall it works well and i wouldn't let those issues stop you. their customer service is great too.
