In Reply to: Wireless 2.4 Ghz audio/video distribution posted by Tony on March 03, 2001 at 06:32:03:
Just bought the Terk system last night. The picture looks very good except some ghosting that is consistant on everything. No reorienting the antennas or switching RF channels will help.Without this ghosting, the picture and sound is as good as you could possibly hope for a FM modulated signal. I'm very pleased with the overall quality, but that ghosting is driving me nuts and I'm considering taking it back.
BTW, when you disrupt the signal by walking in the path of the antennas, the screen distorts and static sets in. This last only for a few milliseconds and the picture stabilizes itself.
I love everything about it, but the ghosting is very distracting. It's mainly only seen on words or box shaped objects. The gosting is then a bar type deal that extends across the entire picture screen. Sometimes it's less apparant depending on the scene, but is still distracting. I'm going to try another unit to see if the ghosting disappears. If it "DOES", I will repost the positive results.

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.
