IOGEAR Wireless 3D Digital Kit with Full HD 1080P and 5.1 Channel Digital Audio, GW3DHDKIT

We recently refurbished our family room and relocated were we keep our regular TV. That screwed up how I had our home theater setup. There was no place for the monstrous home theater receiver, and the bulky cables once hidden would be horribly visible now. I conceded that my cables running to our reliable 720p projector would have to go. I really liked watching movies on the 12' screen instead of the TV, and was depressed that the whole setup would be moved to the basement. But I DESPISE the idea that a home theater should be in the basement and believe it should always be right there in the family room.I figured maybe it's time to upgrade the projector anyway. The wife suggested wireless projectors, but they were either really expensive or got mixed reviews on the wireless functionality. Most positive reviews seemed to be using them as wired projectors!I got a really good price on an Optoma 1080p projector, so I decided on a wired projector instead. And even though I got extremely dirty looks, I planned all the sheetrock cuts and drills through studs and between floors in order to run HDMI cables.... but I was dreading that too. It was going to be a LOT more work than the original component-cable runs, just because of where we'd moved the TV and cable box.I finally wondered whether they made wireless transmitters for HDMI. Sure enough, I found this. I decided to give it a try, since it would save me tons of work and frustration.THIS HAS BEEN A GODSEND.I'm running our cable HDMI, BluRay DVD, and all-region regular DVD into an HDMI switch, then running the output into this. The HDMI out to the TV works great, and eliminates the need for a 4x2 switch. It's about 18' away from the projector, facing 90 degrees away, but really at an angle of about 20 degrees. So I don't need to "point" them at each other. I just realized the receiver is also mounted to the right of the projector, essentially "behind" that direct line of sight too. But it still picks up without any issue. There's also a wireless web hub within 2 feet of the transmitter, no interference issues.The picture is AMAZING. I haven't had ANY pixilation or drop issues at all. It's 100% perfectly clear 1080p HDMI. And it's all so neat and organized at the projector, with just one surge protector strip power cable running up to the whole setup. I used the HDMI cable that comes with this kit, to connect to the projector.Everywhere else I'm using higher-speed Monster cables -- DEFINITELY worth the $50 apiece, I think half the pixilation issues I've ever had were due to cables, not equipment. The cheaper cables just can't keep up.The only downside of this product is sometimes with the INITIAL setup you have to play around with the "source" button.. for some reason it seems backwards, or else I'm plugged into the wrong HDMI in the transmitter maybe. And shutting it off manually seems to be a pain... have to hold the power button for 6-7 seconds until it finally goes RED. But maybe it's communicating with the receiver because they both switch off.Sound is great too. I temporarily hooked up a sound bar at the projector and it was amazing. But I just couldn't get used to the sound being behind us, so I had to run a cable from the HDMI switch to the sound bar at the screen instead. Lost a little of the audio quality that way, since it's analog vs. HDMI, so I might go back to putting it at the receiver/projector.I would HIGHLY recommend this device to anyone wanting to use it for a home theater projector. AMAZING! And so much better than running all the cables.and a victim of that project was that we decided to get I was old my old 50-foot component-video and audio cable run from a home theater to a 720p project, and the associated 5.1 speakers, had to go. Then I got dirty looks when explaining all the sheet rock cuts I was planning in order to run HDMI cables ("after we just got rid of all those other cables and closed up the holes?")So I researched wireless 1080-HD projectors but found mixed reviews, and they are really expensive. Not wanting to risk it, I decided to just buy a regular 1080-HD and

Updated 1/15/2013, 7/1/2013. My first recommendation: Hire someone to run cables in your wall for you. If you can't, this may be the answer, albeit expensive and confusing for non-technical users.My setup: Two sources (ATT U-verse receiver, Roku XD). Local and remote TVs both 1080p-capable. In order for the remote TV to work, I must follow this sequence--starting with the remote receiver powered off by disconnecting the USB power plug and the remote TV turned off: 1. Power on the transmitter 2. Power on the remote TV 3. Connect the USB power to the remote receiver. For me any other power sequence will not work, leaving the remote receiver endlessly searching for a signal.This device is easy to set up and is fairly stable once turned on and connected (see above). The rest of the story:* 1080p. Not happening for me but not the fault of the IO Gear box. 1080i is the best my AT&T Motorola VIP1200 can do. My Roku XD can't seem to do better than 720p.* This device apparently has multiple com frequencies, but the switching is done automatically by the device, so it may deal with interference internally, but you can't do it yourself.* Pass-through HDMI for the local TV. If the remote receiver is on but the remote TV is not, pass through to the local TV is intermittent, going off and on every few minutes. Solution: Power off the remote receiver (remove the USB power connection, as the on/off switch is not "off" quite enough.)* IR pass through for source remotes. Could not get this to work reliably with only one of the IR repeater's pass through stick-ons, but when I used two, it started working and now works just fine with the Motorola STB but not the Roku XD.* The only way to reliably power off the remote receiver is to disconnect the USB power connection.Other notes. I now have both an ATT U-verse receiver and a Roku box connected to the transmitter, and both work with the remote receiver and TV, although 720p is the best I can get with the Roku. U-verse gives 1080i.
