waste of money. Maybe improvements on future models will make it better?

Requires modification. The receiver is connected to a Sharp TV with a refresh rate of 60 GHz. The receiver is 10 to 12 feet from the transmitter. There are no walls between them. As far as I know there are no devices nearby that could interrupt or degrade the signal. CONS: 1. The blue LED on the transmitter flashes when the device is switched off. Since I need to keep the Genie Go in a visible place, the attached transmitter is also always visible, as is the annoying blinking LED on the Nyrius transmitter. 2. The picture is fine. It's not clear, something grainy. It could be the low 60GHz refresh rate on the TV. Perhaps the picture would be better if the TV had a normal 120GHz refresh rate or a higher 240GHz refresh rate? PROS: Well, it works in the sense that it projects a TV signal onto a remote TV that isn't directly connected. attached to my DirecTV service. Addendum: I've been using this product for over a year now. It was a huge disappointment. Sometimes it works fine except for poor image quality. Basically, however, it has major problems maintaining a constant, consistent video stream. I don't understand this because the receiver is in a room next to the transmitter within 15 feet. And there is a clear line of sight. The signal is intermittent, then frequent timeouts. This is very frustrating. I've gotten to the point where I rarely use the device anymore. Today I spent an hour online with their support reps to troubleshoot the issue. Nothing could solve the problem. I consider this purchase a waste of time and money and would not recommend this product to anyone.

Pros
  • The compact, low profile design makes it ideal for laptops and works with any HDMI video device.
Cons
  • Fits
