Product Review (submitted on September 5, 2019):

For reference, my two units are about 5 feet apart and separated by an interior wall. Out of the box setup was easy and everything seemed to work okay. But when watching the receiver TV, I would lose the audio when ever I interrupted the signal by changing channels, pausing the program, or switching to a DVR program. The only way I could restore the audio was by turning the unit off and then back on. This would take about 2 minutes and be very annoying. Additionaly, after watching a single channel continuously for 30 minutes or so the audio would just completely shut off and again I would have to turn everything off and back on in order to restart the audio. The company suggested that the units might be to close together, but the advertised max range is only 30 feet so that leaves a very small window. I did move the transmitter to a different Dish box in the house that was about 20 feet away from the receiver, but this made the video distorted and unwatchable. I also tried different HDMI cables but this also did not improve the situation. Amazon sent me a new unit after I reported this, but sad to say there was no improvement with the audio part of the system. As long as I don’t change channels or interrupt the signal in any way everything is fine. But for me whats the purpose of a TV video/audio trans-receiver if you cant change channels. My previous unit (a different brand) work perfectly for about 5 years until it just quit and I replaced it with this unit. Very disappointed and I will be buying another unit from another manufacturer.
