Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am using the CAT5TX and CAT5RX to ship HD video from my HD TiVo (in the basement) to the master bedroom (on the 2nd floor). Fortunately I had Cat5 already in the walls; I'd say it's about a 150' run. The highest resolution I've gotten from the HD TiVo is 1080i, and it looks perfect on the Sony Bravia 32" LDC in the bedroom.
Setup was easy using 2 CAT5 connections and analog audio. There is a trimmer on each receiver that I did need to adjust to obtain a clear picture. Now it looks as good (to my HD-newbie eye) as the HDMI connection to the living room ... and, because it's analog, there are no worries about some DRM scheme getting in the way.
I am using ordinary Cat5 (not 5e) ... one cable carries video, the other audio+IR. The package includes instructions for sending video + digital audio only (no analog or IR) over a single Cat5; I may try this in another room with my 2nd CAT5RX; this requires making custom RJ45 patch cables according to their instructions.
Although the device claims to relay IR from the receivers back to the transmitter, it does not include an IR hub, pickup or emitter - you're on your own to figure that out. Fortunately I already had IR distribution, so I didn't worry about it.
All in all I love this - you can pause the TiVo in one room and pick up watching in another - what a great setup and it looks perfect. I recommend these devices to anyone wanting to distribute component video at home!
