Product Review (submitted on March 20, 2017):

Pros: Amazon side was great with ordering through delivery. Installation of both transmitter and receiver was simple, picture illustrations only, connected transmitter to Dish satellite receiver, and I used velcro to attach Nyrus receiver to top of TV (flat screen edge) to enable IR window to face viewer -- TV is mounted high on wall with pull down mount (mantle mount). Recvr and xmitter connected immediately after powering both on and VOILA! great picture and sound.Cons: Dish remote does not work via the Nyrius system. Remote works directly to Dish receiver when line of sight is achieved from other room, but get behind wall and nothing. Put remote right in the face of Nyrius receiver, nothing. So, to turn Dish receiver on and off, change channels, use the Guide, etc., I must get up and achieve line of sight with Dish receiver. Trouble-shooting procedures are only available on line at nyrius.com/support, and topics are fixed with minimal procedures. I tried pairing the receiver to the transmitter (did not need to do this initially as they paired automatically) but did it as a possibility, and it seemed a pretty simple procedure. Units failed to pair, no video or sound, took multiple re-pairing attempts to get video and sound back, but remote for Dish would still not work. Went through all the monkey motions of turning ALL devices off/on, plugging/unplugging, etc. So, the Nyrius system achieved 50% of what I was trying to do (provides video and sound), but I could have done this with an extra long HDMI cable (Dish receiver to TV) and co-axial cable (from wall to Dish receiver position in same room as TV) and put the box in the same room for $20 and still had . Was hoping to go wireless to the TV from the Dish Receiver.So, it does send video/sound wireless, but remote does not work with system.UPDATE (3/22)Initially gave it 2 stars, but changing to one star as the second day the system failed to transmit video or sound and nothing was touched from the previous day other than turning the TV off that previous night. I did not even try to bother with it as I was fed up from the previous days frustration in not getting the Dish remote to work, so disassembled and repacked it for return. The possibility exists that I have a bad transmitter, but I am returning the system and going with wired as unsightly as it is, it works and is totally reliable. - Verified Store
