Summary: Surprised that it actually works as advertised
Review: I've read a number of reviews of items such as this and I didn't have much hope for it. Typically these sorts of items sound better than they actually work. Often, interference that causes "beats", "pops", or "bars" across your screen make viewing unacceptable.I bought this unit in order to avoid fishing a coaxial cable through my walls from the cable box in my basement to a newly installed television upstairs. I am surprised and happy to report that it works much better than I had hoped! This unit differs from other similar devices (such as the X-10 video sender) in that the remote control secondary functionality is built in. This means that I can use a remote control upstairs to control the channels on my cable box in the basement right out of the box. Other units make you buy some additional product to get this functionality. Keep in mind that I'm not trying to send video across town... my two units are probably only 10 feet away from each other (through a floor) and the quality is excellent. The remote IR extender works great as well. Also, the unit I received is different from the one pictured here on Amazon. My units are actually each about half the size of those pictured. They must have re-designed the components to fit into a smaller enclosure. Doesn't get 5 stars because it is rather pricey for what it does. The quality is not perfect either... it's excellent, but certainly not perfect. There will undoubtedly be at least *some* random interference in the form of the occassional pop or static during your viewing session.

Summary: remote control doesn't work
Review: I've tried two of these sytems but the remote control extender didn't work at all. I don't know about other users but if you can't change channels at your remote location, it is pretty much useless.

Summary: SELECT THIS ALTERNATIVE
Review: It works well if there is no cordless phones (GHz range operating ones)in the vicinity. I tried various setup configs but gave up due to Interference and distortions. Finally I chose the phone line transmitting one (since I had a phone line close by) and that really helped. The model number is LF-10s made by Terk also.see its review elsewhere by me here at amazon.

Summary: Works great after some fiddling
Review: Just bought this product from B&H (the cheapest place that sold it I could find) and hooked it up. I wanted it to have DirecTV/Tivo combo unit in the bedroom without having to have a second DirecTivo device AND to have all my programs "shared" (i.e. not have to have the same Season Passes on both, and manually delete a program from both after watching it on one.)
Installation was about 3 minutes and easy. Forget the manual; it's totally not required. The manual actually made it look much harder than the pure simplicity that the device is.
I had some interference problems at first (fuzzy lines and audio pops appearing every second or so) until I adjusted the antennas (layed them flat was the trick for me) and the channels, which helped but didn't reduce it completely. I have no cordless phone so that wasn't a problem, but do use the Linksys Wireless-B Router w/ 4 port switch. That router and this device both share spectrum from the 2.4 GHz range. I set the router to use channel ONE and the Terk device to use the 4th channel to get the frequencies as far apart as possible. Once I did this, the picture improved dramatically and is essentially as good as a direct connection although it's hard for me to truly tell since the transmitting box with TV is an HDTV, and the TV connected to the receiving box is just a standard, so definately some quality differences, but similar to a convential picture quality.
The remote control pass-through transmit part works very very well. It's really nice to have it totally built-in to this device without needing anything extra.
My only concern with the device is that the built-in remote control IR extender plug only has ONE plug on it which only allows me to remotely control one device at a time since my TV set top boxes are scattered about. This probably isn't an issue for most people since their DVD player is probably right next to their VCR, etc, but for me it's a little bothersome. I think that RadioShack has an extra IR extender that I can wire into it to give me full remote control over multiple devices....
Overall, an excellent product. Video and audio are perfect along with good working of the remote control through the walls as well. Simple installation and saved me hours of stringing a coaxial cable or others through the walls as well as getting all my Tivo programs watchable in multiple rooms... :-) Just make sure to adjust the antennas and channels, cordless phones, and wi-fi routers to eliminate interference and you're fine.

Summary: Probably great for simple transmitting, but my project was
Review: Strengths:
Performed as advertised. Simple hookup.
Weaknesses:
Lots of interference in small house with microwave, phone, etc. Picture quality highly degraded on large TV. No S-video cable option(didn't convert or "modulate" signal). "ears" seem breakable
Summary:
First, let me describe what I was attempting to do, since it wasn't your average hookup, probably. I was attempting to run my Cable TV wire coming into my house, into my HP MediaCenter PC Tuner card. Then, from my Tuner card, I wanted to run out using S-Video to the Terk transmitter device. From the Terk receiver, I wanted to run into the television. The goal: to record TV using my PC and also use my picture in picture feature to compute and have TV on at the same time, all without having to run wires across the room to my 55" sony. I reached the goal, but not with this product and not without wires.
After MUCH anguish at realizing this product did NOT have an s-video IN port, I was stuck. The S-video is where you're going to get the highest quality picture, next to VGA (monitor) inputs. So, I had to go buy a modulator (walmart or best buy $30) that I could plug in an S-video cable, and plug "out" a composite (yellow, red, white) cable that would go to the Terk transmitter. This worked, but there was serious loss in picture quality (looked uncontrasted, too soft and fuzzy in appearance), especially when computing. There was really no comparison when looking at the wireless versus wired options in this scenario; the picture was just to clear compared to the use of the transmitters.
Bottom line: If the picture quality were maintained, I would have kept them. Perhaps for your application, there would be no signal degradation. For just shooting cable from the living room to the bedroom, these would probably do a good job. But to avoid having to buy extra parts, make sure that what you're transmitting from has composite "out".

Summary: Only one little problem
Review: The California guy was close.. the IR extender does work, but it has such a short range and half-angle (pointing opposite from the wire), it is near useless for anyone wanting to control multiple devices. You have to put it right in front of the ONE device's IR window, and point it the right way. I'm trying to work with Terk to see what my other options are, else, I'll go run the AV cables and switch to a system that is only for remote controls

Summary: Does not work with wireless network
Review: This product worked great if I unplugged my wireless computer network. It did not work acceptably when the computer network was turned on, which happens to be all the time.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This system is great. I wanted to view my Digital satelite in my room but I didn't have an extra receiver or the money. The system has a clear picture and sound and setup is a breeze. If you need something like this than it is the best product for the money.

Summary: 2.4G interference
Review: Unwatchable with a 2.4G phone. Horizontal lines plus popping audio. I have a 802.11b 2.4G wireless network in the house which works fine with a 2.4G cordless phone, and also caused no interference with the Terk. The Terk and the phone however were unable to live together, so it's going to be headin gback to the shop...
