It's the quality I'm worried about. And since I already have a wireless
network at home it would be sweet to be able to use that. I've check around
on the net, and found that Trust have a unit as you describe above. It lets
you connect via scart to the DVD, satellite or whatever, and send to another
unit. I think I'll try this and see if it does the job. It says the range is
100m free line of sight, but when there are two or three walls blocking the
signal I wonder how it will hold up. Also, perhaps the already existing
wireless network in the house will interfere? Anyone know anythink about
that??
