As I have seen with others, the MVP GB-PVR combo is the first real oppurtunity to start a PVR that I am willing to deal with. I always thought it excessive to buy a 2nd PC (maybe a mac mini...).
Anyway, has anyone had experience with the wireless video/stereo senders? I want to explore this as an alternative to buying a MVP. Mostly these hook up to VGA, sound, or video output and transmit to a reciever/breakout box at the TV. I have only seen composite, no s-vid. Keep in mind I am watching tv on a not-too-fancy SDTV.
I have a 2nd story loft very near the TV, with a half wall. I do not expect range or obstruction to be a signifigant issue. I also am only willing to consider the MVP as a wireless (802.11g) solution - (I'd stop and buy an MVP if it had g built in). Of course the sender is cheaper, but is it an unwise direction? The positive is that I am not limited by formats that MVP supprots, as it's the PC being accessed. I also have an x10 rf remote that works fine from that distance to control the box.
To clarify, wires from the PC upstairs in the loft to the TV downstairs aren't acceptable options.
