Amazon.com Product Description
The average home entertainment system once consisted of a TV, stereo, and maybe a cable box. Now a modern system may also include a DVD player, satellite receiver, surround sound amplifier, digital video recorder, and an HD tuner, along with a PC designed to serve as a digital hub for certain audio/video functions. The RF Link AVS-5811 takes A/V technology to the next logical step by wirelessly transmitting audio and video signals from these components to any nearby TV, monitor, or stereo system, letting you enjoy vivid video and hi-fi stereo sound anywhere in the house. The A/V sender effectively lets you send signals to components located upstairs, several rooms away, or elsewhere without running bulky, space-consuming cables in the walls or under the floorboards. With the AVS-5811, viewers can watch simultaneous DVD or satellite programming on upstairs and downstairs TVs, or listen to their favorite tunes on stereos in three different rooms--all without wires. They can also use the sender to watch live video from a camcorder or CCD camera in a remote location, whether for security or entertainment purposes. Users who edit video or capture footage from TV programs on their computers will also find plenty to like about the device, as they can easily send the video from their Macs or PCs directly to a living room TV for viewing. The AVS-5811 comes with a 5.8 GHz wireless transmitter and a receiver with four selectable channels. Unlike more common 2.4 GHz transmitters, the AVS-5811 doesn't share a band with Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, 801.11b wireless LAN networks, and microwave ovens, ensuring a sharp, interference-free video signal. The four channels are also a bonus, as it lets users set up multiple transmitters and receivers in the same area without cross-channel noisiness. In addition, the sender includes a built-in IR remote extender that controls components from a distance, so a user can mute the bedroom TV while relaxing on the living room sofa, for instance. The sender features an NTSC/PAL video system and transmits to distances as great as 400 feet without obstructions. It's also relatively compact at 6.5 by 4.13 by 10.5 inches (W x H x D). What's in the Box
Transmitter, receiver, two A/V RCA cables, two AC power adapters, IR mouse (remote extender), user's manual.

 Not HDTV but produces an incredible picture. March 27, 2008
Robert Williamson
I wanted to put a TV in my bedroom but didn't want to run any new cables through the house. So, I had used a few video transmitters in the past and was wondering if they had improved. What could it hurt to try one out. Well, after a lot of research I settled on this product. WOW, was I impressed. I was sure there would be some noticeable effect that this was video being transmitted (like in the old style units). However, there is barely anything that would indicate this. No snow, no lines, no flutters, etc... Once in a blue moon I may notice some quick instance or distortion that reminds me this is a cable less set-up. Other than that the picture is good, the sound is good, and the IR repeater works flawlessly. I am VERY happy with this purchase and am planning on buying a few more receivers for my kitchen TV and my PC. My transmitter and receiver are about 50 feet from each other with 3 walls and some various furniture in between. My microwave oven is between the transmitter and receiver and has never made the slightest glitch in the picture or sound. This is definitely and impressive product and worth every penny.
rf link 5811 February 27, 2008
Peter Stott (Oliver, BC)
Good product, watch for conflicts with 5.8 ghz phones etc., had to buy a new set of phones or unplug them to watch tv. Video and sound is very clear.
Good, Not Great, w/ Charter/Moxi DVR Set-Up February 25, 2008
D. Dillman (Madison, WI USA)
I purchased the product to connect my main entertainment unit (TV/DVR/Home Theatre) to my office TV. Under the Charter program I am on, only my main TV gets all channels, and the DVR I am renting can only record from the main TV signal. Rooms are on the same floor - one inside wall, two outside walls separating units (L-shaped house). I connect the AVS-5811 transmittor directly to a Motorola Moxi BMC 9012 or 9022D DVR (not sure which, but they are configured the same).
Picture is good, sound is a bit weak, have to really crank the volume on the receiver TV, but it works. This makes interference "spikes" noisy and irritating, but they are not too numerous and overall the signal satisfactory.
Documentation is mediocre. I am fairly computer savvy and it was not overly clear to me where I should attach the cables for the transmitting unit, i.e. should I attach to TV, DVR, or Home Theatre/DVD player. I settled on the DVR since it was the only unit with the classic yellow/white/red cable outputs. The AVS-5811 comes only with these cables, and their documentation only discusses this option. There are other outputs on the DVR (S-Video, for example), but no other output options are discussed. The problem was, the red and white outputs were already in use. I disconnected those outputs, and everything worked fine, although doing this disconnected the sound from the main TV (but that's OK since I am generally watching one or the other, not both). Hooking up the receiving unit was easy, since there were clear yellow/white/red inputs on my office TV.
Unlike other reviewers, I am having pretty good luck with the wireless remote. I suspend the IR transmitter about 6 inches from the IR detector on the DVR, which might be the key.
I am looking at options where I can use a splitter cable on the white/red outputs so I don't have to turn the DVR unit, disconnect, etc. each time I want to hook up the AVS-5811. Also, my wife does not like the transmitting unit sitting on the entertainment unit, whereas I think it's kind of cool, but that is a girl/guy thing I suppose.
Overall, giving it four stars. Loses a star because signal transmission is not perfect and documentation, especially regarding optional configurations, is poor.
