ARIES Home Wireless HD Video Digital Transmitter & Receiver

Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on October 27, 2015):

Have had this unit for a week now and it works great. Set it

up to transmit from our family room DirecTV receiver to

another TV set upstairs within 20 feet distance. We did not

want to spent the extra $99 for another HD receiver plus

installation cost of cable and $5/month for a TV that is only

used a few times per week. We can also switch the receiver

unit to other sets if needed by just plug-in in the HDMI and

power adapter to the other location.
I set it up using a 1 to 2 port HDMI power splitter and with

good quality HDMI cables as was recommended by other posts

here. The unit worked immediately and broadcast the DirecTV

channel to the other set simultaneously. Yes... both TV's

must view the same channel, but is not an issue for us. Using

the IR remote pass-thru cable from the transmitter and

aligning it with the DirectTV receiver, allows us to change

satellite channels from the remote TV location. This is a

great feature and much appreciated over other transmitter

offerings. Picture quality is great on both sets from the HD

DirecTV signal. We can not notice any deterioration. Once you

turn on the transmitter and receiver it takes a few seconds

for the signal link to be established. We have not had any

issue with the signal link being lost or dropping out while

the units were in used.
Only 2 minor negatives have been noticed so far and I mean

minor. 1) There is slightly more of time lag in the video

display on the TV screen than before. This is only noticed

when you change channels or use the online guides or menus.

This could be due more to the slitter being used than the

Nyrius wireless transmitter and receiver. 2) The Transmitter

and receiver units are designed go into standby mode after

being idle for a while. You can also put the units into

standby mode manually. A small button is used as the only

means to put in to or bring out of standby. The standby

button is located in an awkward place on the back of each

unit above or between the cable hook ups. Placement on the

front of the unit would have been better and more convenient.

Plus, you have to do it manually and push the button... no

remote operation possible. So you have to go to both until

and take out of or put into standby mode.
As I said it is minor inconvenience and i did not even deduct

from my star rating for this, but other may consider it more

problematic for their situation.

I highly recommend the Nyrius transmitter and receiver NAV500

HD. It is versatile and quality addition to our home video

set up.
