Well, I did try another system. The ghosting is still apparent. I can get over the ghosting I guess, since the picture is so clear otherwise. Of course, my receiveing unit is only about 25' away from the transmitting unit. That could be why the picture is so clear.

A side note, I do have a steel beam support in my basement. Who knows, but maybe this is causing the ghosting. Possible since the measely $99 system($39 transmitter/$60 receiver)is by far not a broadcasting station.

Even with the ghosting, I'm pretty impressed with the clarity of the picture. I tried Radio Shacks 2.4Ghz Wireless A/V distribution system and their telephone wire A/V distribution system. Neither had a good picture, with fuzz and interference riddled quality. This Terk WaveMaser 20 system looks professional by comparison!

What's nice is that I can now use my Yamaha RX-V2095's multiroom/Zone 2 feature. I'm now thinking of adding the rear and center speakers to the 2 main speakers of my bedroom system's Pioneer Prologic receiver. Since I was originally only using my house's previously installed cable network(disconnected original cable feed and then added VCR's RF output to the interior cable system's splitter input)to distribute my Dish Network satellite receiver's and VCR's RF output, the audio was only mono. With the wireless system connected, I now have true stereo audio, FINALLY!

The only main drawback, as I mentioned numerous times, is the ghosting. If you can get over that, I think you'll love the quality.
