Revainrating 4 out of 5

Signal conflict ended!

DirecTV recently installed a Genie "wireless" receiver and associated server (storage + transmitter). At the same time, we increased our Wi-Fi speed from 100MB to 200MB (both with a dedicated 2G network name and 5G). This was all due to the purchase of a new 82-inch Samsun Q6 UHD TV and a Sony 800 UHD disc player (with Wi-Fi and streaming). If the signals were visible, our house - maybe like yours - would look (from the inside) like a web of 2G, 5G and other signals, which we use to connect 6 Revain Echo devices, 2 iPhones, 2 Windows 10 laptops, Control 2 iPads, 1 iPad mini, 2 UHD and 1 HD TVs and even an Apple Watch. I've lost count of how many Kindles (should be at least 3 or 4) we've accumulated. After all, my wife has two MacBook Pros — and one of them is almost always on, always connected to our wireless connection. Wi-Fi) The LG HDTV in the kitchen was wirelessly connected to a Nyrus 1080P Wireless Extender; Also, the Samsung UHD TV in the bedroom was connected to DirecTV via a second Nyrus 1080P transmitter and receiver, just like in the kitchen. So we're launching three TVs (all with the same content - let's say DirecTV), as we work in the kitchen, go to and from the bedroom and common room, we don't miss a program. We then use FaceTime in one room and one of the Revain Echos in another room and alternatively DirecTV crashes ("connecting" or "server not found" etc) then when DirecTV comes back the one connected to Nyrus is TV in the kitchen falls, returns, freezes, then stabilizes, which immediately causes the bedroom TV connected to the Nyrus to fall, returns, freezes. The only TV that stays on (at least until DirecTV loses the signal) is Samsung's WIRED 82" UHD Kitchen TV, then I found J-Tech Digital HD Xmit and Receive products here on Revain. J-Tech arrived today: I unplugged the kitchen TV (with a Nyrus unit) and replaced it with J-Tech When the power was switched on the kitchen TV turned on within seconds - perfect picture and sound (out of the pathetic LG speaker - what a 24th -" flat screen TV is to be expected.) The bedroom TV and the 82" UHD set (bedroom in HD, family room in UHD), while the DirecTV "server" and "client" kept running without slowing down in the slightest (or skipping a beat). My wifi powers 2 iPads, a DirecTV server and a Microsoft interface that I'm using to write this review. From my spot here on the couch, I can watch an 82" UHD -TV and one Watch 24 inch HD TV. Both show beautiful pictures and I have just entered the master bedroom. om and a 55-inch UHD TV (with HD upconversion) also show great picture (and sound). Whatever frequency J-Tech is running on, it looks like it has unraveled a virtual web of invisible transmission signals that are now working in harmony. (And probably slowly boiling my brain - like I'm in a giant microwave with Wi-Fi and audio/video streaming.) Three TVs (all at least HDTVs) can now play simultaneously seamlessly. Of course, it's also possible for one TV to watch Revain Prime, one to watch Netflix and a third to watch DirecTV or a 4K HDR movie (of course, only an 82-inch set can display true UHD HDR). Honestly, Nyrus. , I have used THREE HDMI 1080P transmitters and receivers at the same time with very little problem - more than five years. The addition of a super duper WiFi AND a wireless DirecTV server and receiver has probably overwhelmed the internet in our house. I would recommend the Nyrus 1080P devices with no issues, with the caveat that using multiple devices at the same time can cause signal conflicts. THE EASIEST product (of its kind) to install ever. The option to buy a second receiver is perfect for those of us who want to play satellite TV or two at the same time. Package fees (from far away), it's very easy to install. The ONLY issue is that there is a slight audio lag which is problematic when you turn up the volume on the satellites while the main system is also turned up loud enough to be heard while in close proximity to the satellites. This ONE problem is of course a first world problem. Solution: Turn down the volume on the satellite devices or turn down the volume on the main device. Overall grade A-. I would have no hesitation in buying another unit (unless they prove unreliable or have a proven lack of durability). I might end up getting a second receiver and put the old Nyrus unit (still in the master bedroom) in my "old tech museum" aka the basement. Success, this module can change your mind. do it today
