Fantastic. Easy io set up. Picture in the bedroom as good as the one in the lounge. Full control of ihe Sky Box downstairs from the bedroom. A second remote Sky remote control for the bedroom a good idea. Smaller than expected from the pictures. Comes in 9.5X7X2.75 inch box.

We bought this sender set to be able to watch Sky on a small Toshiba TV in our study fed by our Sky second room box in the bedroom next door.
Setup was easy - you plug the supplied SCART sockets into both the back of the Sky box (transmitter) and the rear of the host TV (receiver). The SCART plugs are "pass through" types so you don't actually use another socket - the existing SCART plugs simply plug back into the rear of the new (Digisender) plugs. You also need to position the remote "magic eyes" in front of the Sky box and host TV. You then plug in the transmitter and receiver to the mains, switch on and select the best out of 5 channels.
The picture quality we obtained was very good. Two points though; the position of the small aerials on the transmitter and receiver (similar to those on a PC router) are critical to getting a stable picture which is immune to people moving about etc. and, through trial and error, this was achieved. Secondly, the positioning of the remote eyes is crucial to get them working, in particular, the one in front of the Sky box must be positioned and orientated correctly - once this is done you will have complete control over the channel etc. on the remote TV.
One thing you will probably need to buy is a second Sky or other remote depending on the source you are using, otherwise, you will have to move the remote from room to room. I suggest you do this after the Digisender is installed as, if for any reason, the Digisender isn't suitable for your location you will also have to send the second remote back too.
This sender package uses the 5.8GHZ band which should not interfere with most current wireless networks (although a few top end systems now use 5.8GHZ). It works well in our location, although, my understanding is that senders are very sensitive to their location and the construction of buildings etc. and your should bear this in mind - you may be unlucky.
Overall, we are very pleased with the picture quality and control afforded by this sender. Recommended.

Very easy to set up and worked straight out of the box after setting the 2nd TV to AV. However, interference and poor picture quality prevailed whenever our broadband wireless router was active. Also, anybody walking or moving about between the lounge with the main TV and our kitchen with the 2nd TV also caused picture quality issues. The instruction manual recommends plugging both the sender and receiver units into a short extension lead rather than directly into the wall socket. This is so you can experiment to find the best direction to point each of the units. So we did this and with just a little trial and error found immediate improvement with both the sender and receiver units pointing upwards produced a perfect interference free picture other than when the broadband router was switched on. The original position of the broadband router was in the kitchen near the 2nd TV. So we purchased a 15m phone extension cable for the broadband router and moved the router to another room. Hey Presto! an absolutely clear picture was the result with non of the previous interference problems. Only one minor issue - our Sky Plus controller does not work on the second TV but this is not a problem for us. There is another type of controller available from the supplier as mentioned in the instruction manual if you really need that facility.

Great bit of kit...
Does exactly what it was bought for... No problem with other gear (WiFi etc) due to being on 5.8 Ghz. Simple to set up.
