Rating: Summary: Good product Review: Bought this from Circuit city for the same price. Works very well. Transmits picture and sound quite clearly. Only gripe - I am not able to find additional receivers sold seperately. Using the menu function you can fine tune the picture and once you have saved the setting you are good to go. I use this along with Ultimate XP pro scan converter to transmit streaming content from my computer to one of my TVs.
Rating: Summary: Take just a little time setting it up. Review: I found that, yes, objectionable interference from other wireless items can be a problem. But with a little patient adjustment of your various components, all works flawlessly. One tip that worked for me on elimimating audio popping, turn way down the sound on the destination audio and turn up the sound from the origination audio to compensate. Problem solved.
Rating: Summary: Terk and I are going back to the store Review: I gave it a 2 because the setup was easy... However, it falls short because if you've got a cordless phone forget about it. popping noises and lines are so irritating I have to remove it and try to find something better.
Rating: Summary: Audio thumbs up, video needs some work though. Review: I own a condo and the second bedroom doesn't have cable, so I bought this to run from a cable tuner into a monitor in the second bedroom. I go the audio to work great as most of the devices around my house are 2.4 GHz or higher, but the video doesn't keep up all the time and the screen will occassionally flash if an extreme color change occurs on the screen (popular transition with shows like CSI). So, I decided to convert it to transmitting PC audio from the computer desk in the same bedroom out to the living room stereo. It is working great for that purpose.

Rating: Summary: It really does wok! Review: I recently wired my basement for a projection TV, full sound system, etc but screwed up and did not run a wire for my TiVo output upstairs to the basement. Getting another TiVo wasn't as much money issue as having all the shows, etc at one source. I bought the Leapfrog in the hope that I would not have to cut through drywall.
Bottom line: it works great! Set up was something like ten minutes. I initially had interference from my 2.4 GHz phone, which I was replacing anyway with a new 5.8 GHz system (Uniden- works great too). When I did that, I get the same image quality downstairs as upstairs (component video isn't great, but workable for TV). The IR relay works well, though I hear a quick buzz through the audio (low, but noticable) when any TiVo remote button is pressed. I get no interference with my 2.4 Ghz D-Link wireless network.
This product saved me a tons of time, and will pay for itself in a few months.
Rating: Summary: Works great... unless you use other 2.4Ghz devices Review: I was looking for a wireless way to send the video & audio from my living room to a bedroom, so that I could watch movies coming from my cable box & DVD player. Having a remote control feature, I chose this model. I can tell you that the picture was very sharp, and the sound was great. However, I also have a Panasonic KX-TG2730 expandable cordless phone system, which operates on the same 2.4Ghz frequency. With the phone's base plugged in, it produced crackling sound and wide dark bands that scrolled vertically along the picture. Unplug the phone system, and it was flawless. I had read other mixed reviews on interference caused by 2.4Ghz phone sytems, but I can tell you that the Panasonic system I mentioned did cause interference for me. I tried moving the phone base, and tried all four channels on the Leapfrog Wavemaster 30 video transmitter, but nothing helped.In short, if you don't use any other wireless devices using the 2.4Ghz frequency (cordless phones, wireless network devices), the Terk Leapfrog Wavemaster 30 delivers a great picture with equally great sound. If you do use other wireless devices on the same frequency, I would look for a video transmitter that uses a different frequency (or a wired one), or be prepared to return it to the store.

Rating: Summary: Easy to set up and it works great Review: I was worried about purchasing this product after reading some of the other reviews. I have a wireless network and a cordless phone and thought they might conflict with each other. My phone rotates channels and some of the channels conflict with my wireless network causing me to lose contectivity sometimes when I receive calls. The Leapfrog setup is as simple as others have said. I'm using it with my DirecTV Tivo. When I first turned it on, my wireless network went off, but I changed its channel and have been fine ever since. I have not had a problem with the cordless phone, although I don't use the phone and the leapfrog together often. A slight adjustment of the antenna gave me crystal-clear picture and sound. I am extremely happy with this purchase.
Rating: Summary: It's a Terkey Review: I'm surprised Amazon would carry such a poorly made product. Got it, after a rather long wait, with a broken antenna. The only part that works is the remote extender. There was never even an inkling of picture or sound, despite the units being only 10 feet apart. Followed all the instructions, changed channels, positioned carefuly, all for nought. Doesn't deserve even one star, but that's as low as Amazon lets you go. You'd be better off burning your money - at least you'll keep warm.
