Some context first. I live in a 4 floor town house, built less than 10 years ago. My main tv is on the first floor (back of the house) and the tv I wanted to get the signal to is on the third floor (i.e. two floors above), also at the back of the house.
The box itself has HDMI passthrough, which is useful with a Sky box (but must be turned on for the passthrough to work). Connection to the tv on my first floor takes a little while (as others have mentioned), but I get decent signal strength. The picture itself is rock solid, as is the sound. I think it is every bit as good as that on my main tv, which is a nice surprise. My main tv is a 55 inch Samsung LED and the receiving tv is a 50 inch Panasonic plasma. On a tv that size I would expect any degredation to be obvious.
Compared to my old Digisender, well, there is no comparison. I am extremely pleased with the Gigaview 820. My biggest fear was whether my second tv would be too far away, or that the picture would be poor.
Other good points? It doesn't interfere or conflict with my wireless internet.
Bad points? Well, out of interest I did also try it on the other tv on my third floor (at the front of the house). It does not pick up any signal at all. Whereas my standard setup is pretty much vertical in terms of where the signal is going, the diagonal route to this other tv obviously increases the distance quite a bit. I'm not surprised it didn't work, but I think it gives some context in terms of the potential reach of the signal.

I have had some experience with SD video senders, but this equipment is in a totally different league. I wanted to upgrade to Sky+HD, but my living room is cabled with old style ariel cable. So, I decided to try this wireless solution, and I am not disappointed. I plugged the sender into the Sky HD box, and the receiver into the TV, and after a few minutes the picture came through in superb quality. There is no need to look at the instructions!
I disagree with the reviewer who says this is expensive. When I looked last year, HD senders were twice the price.
If you need a cable-free solution for HD, then look no further - this is the product you are looking for.

An excellent piece of kit. Having used AV senders before, and getting everything set up perfectly only to find when somebody twitches or breathes, you get interference this kit comes as a breath of fresh air.
When you first turn the transmitter and reciever it takes a then while to find each other, this is because it uses different frequency channels to find the best choice for the best signal, but it's worth the wait.
It's quicker next time you turn on, and the picture is brilliant, not whisper or a crackle out of place, definitely recommend.
It can transmit 2 different HDMI signals, just press the button on the remote or on either of the units to change the HDMI input signal to watch on the destination TV.
The only bad thing to say is the price, it's a lot of money for what is essentially an AV sender. But then you do get a high end quality HD signal for a high end quality price.

I have owned this item since December, so 4 months of use at the time of writing. At the time of purchase, Amazson did not stock this item, so bought elsewhere. I have to say that when it does actually work correctly the quality is superb. The range is good. Mine goes through a plasterboard wall about 15 metres and will transmit in full 1080p quality. It is not affected by people moving across the rooms etc, and it is a very small and neat device. Now for the bad part! While it accepts the HDMi signal from my satellite box and WD media Player, it does not fare well with my Fox T2 PVR. I often have to reboot the PVR, the Marmitek transmitter and the receiver several times before it will transmit the signal. This involves walking from room to room and can take up to 15 minutes to get it all to work. Sometimes it will work first time! For the past 2 months the receiver refuses to go into standby, it just reboots immediately, so when I change source at the transmitter end it causes the TV connected to the receiver to change channel. It is really annoying when something else is being watched on that TV. Also sometimes the signal drops out briefly and when it reboots there is no audio. Sometimes the picture shakes horizontally, usually after switching sources, so have to switch off and start all over again. There is no customer support from Marmitek whatsoever, they say consult your dealer. This is certainly the most frustrating device I have ever experienced. In my opinion, an expensive mistake!

I have been looking for a wireless solution for HDMI for 2 years. At last this is an affordable solution.
After unpacking the units and attaching them to the devices the system worked first time.
I did have a cable solution using cat5 cables. This system provided a much better quality of image.
A short review but what can you say about a product that works straight out of box. I did not even read the instructions it is that obvious.

What can i say....
This thing has given me faith in new technology... I bought it as a gamble thinking, nah this wont work for what i need it for (I have my sky box downstairs opposite side of the house) and it beems flawlessly all my video from my sky box right up to my bedroom without even worrying about cables! even allows me to use the remote! Works so well ive decided to get my xbox out of my room, leave it in the lounge and beam it up to my bedroom when i want to use it! (Since this thing has a remote hdmi splitter/switch inbuilt!),
Although slightly pricey. i got it off ebay for £160... if saves you the hassle of ripping down plasterboard! running cables! working out another way to send full hd video!
For my use it has managed to transmit hdmi video about 15m through about 3 plasterboard walls.
Hope this helps anyone looking for reviews of this device!
