I decided to purchase one of these and received it today. Picture and sound spot on, no lag / breakup noticed yet but I can't get it to work if the main TV or amp is switched off. I'm hoping there is away around this as otherwise it won't be much use

Edit: Nvm, all sorted working great!

Quote from: OldBloke;385822I also want SKY HD in a second room without forking out for another multiroom sub plus all the extra drilling etc.

After a bit of research I've purchased these. OK they're not cheap but, when compared to multiroom, they will pay for themselves quite quickly. The transmitter has an HDMI pass-through so no splitter required. An IR blaster is included and they took me about 45 mins to get up and working. The toughest job was locating the IR receiver on my 2TB Sky HD box (used a torch at an angle and found it to the left of the central round light cluster). No HDMI cables are supplied so I had to order two of those as well.

HD quality is very good (a longer test is needed) but I certainly have no issues of connection quality (units are about 20M apart).

In case anyone's interested ... I no longer require this kit so will be putting it up for sale shortly in the 'for sale' section.
