Anyone got any experience of these ? Daughter just fixed her 'retired' LCD TV on the wall of her bedroom. Although primarily, her and her husband will be watching stuff that's been put onto a portable hard drive streamer, she thought that it would be handy to be able to watch stuff that she's recorded on her Sky+ box, so at the same time she bought the wall bracket, she also bought a TescoSonic (or whatever dreadful name they call their stuff) 2.4GHz AV sender. I went round there to fix the bracket - she doesn't trust her poor old hubby with fixing something heavy to a stud wall ! - and when it was all in place, he hooked up the sender. Although it worked after a fashion, it was basically unusable in reality, as each of the four selectable channels it had, was wiped out by bands of heavy duty interference. It had that 'frequency-hopping' feel about it, and my immediate suspicion was that it was interference from their broadband wireless router, which is located in the lounge, pretty much below the bedroom. I had him turn it off, but it made no difference at all. Slight improvements could be made by doing a Laurel and Hardy and standing on one leg with the receiver unit held at arms length, whilst stroking the cat with the other hand, but in the end, no results that were useable, so I guess this must be interference from the neighbours wireless router.
Anyway, she took the AV sender back to Tesco, and got her money back.
So, question is, has anyone else had this problem, and managed to resolve it with any particular make or model? Obviously, there are many available, but she doesn't want to keep going through the process of buying and returning, if it's a problem that's never going to be resolved. I would estimate that the receiver would be probably diagonally equidistant from the the transmitter unit and their wireless router, and that distance would be, at a guess, no more than 20 feet and through a standard plasterboard ceiling and chipboard floor. Obviously, a little further to the attached neighbour's router, assuming they've got one, and it's not upstairs just the other side of the blockwork party wall ... Much further to the neighbour the other side.
My preferred method of sorting this would be to run a cable. It's not a big house. But if anyone has any useful experience on doing it by the wireless route, I'd be interested to hear.
TIA
