This review is from: Peerless HDS100 HD Wireless Multimedia Center - BlackI found a dedicated website to the product which really helped in my buying decision: [...] which helped answer some pre-sale questions I had regarding the product. I placed my order on Amazon at 3:00p and it was shipped by 5:00 the same day! I ordered the next day shipping because I wanted it in a hurry and received it at 10:00a the next day. Very impressed with the turnaround and ease of doing business. When I received the Flow, I opened it up and was surprised at how simple it was. There were only 3 pieces, ready to plug and play. Set up was a breeze and I plugged in my DVD player and media player into the labeled ports. I then plugged in the receiver into my TV across my house and within 1 minute I was streaming HD! I used HDMI on the transmitter and Component in the other room because my other TV lacks HDMI. I tested it with HDMI on my other TV and it worked just as well. I was pleasantly surprised to find there is no noticeable delay or loss in image or sound quality whatsoever. It transmits my remote control signal from the receiver back to the transmitter seamlessly. Overall, a great experience and I highly recommend for anyone wishing to stream HD video and audio across a house or other location. The most impressive feature I found with this product was that the wireless HD signal would send and receive the signal through walls just the same as it would in line of site. I read other reviews on similar products around the same price that required line of site and was happy to find the HD Flow does not require line of site. It would work the same with a wall and closed door separating the transmitter and receiver. This would be great in a bar or restaurant where you have multiple inputs and do not want to run cables across the room. It would even do a great job if you put all your IR components in a closet where you can hide them and have only one input into your flat screen. Recommend!...

This review is from: Peerless HDS100 HD Wireless Multimedia Center - BlackI got this product to stream video from my computer (bedroom) to my hometheater (living room). That last one is connected to 6 speakers (5.1 surround sound) and obviously is connected to the TV as well.So this is the setup (Everything is connected via HDMI):Computer -> HDFlowTransmitter -> HDFlowReceiver -> Hometheater -> Speakers & TVThe good: When I first tried the product I was amazed of the video quality, even though the video is compressed by the HDFlow in order to be sent wireless, the output is still 1080p. When I get very close (5ft or less) to the TV (45inches size) I can notice the reduction in quality. But that was not a problem because no one watches TV that close.The bad: The surround sound does not work. At first I thought it was my computer, my video card, or something else. After A LOT of trial an error, I noticed that if I connected my computer via HDMI directly to the Hometheater (with NO HDFlow at all), the computer autodetects the hometheater as a surround sound capable device, and thus the computer sends the 5.1 surround sound and it works flawlessly. But when I use the HDFlow the computer autodetects the HDFlowtransmitter as a STEREO sound capable only device, thus surround sound is NOT sent by the computer.I have windows 7, and if I go to control panel and then sound manager, there is a list of playback devices, from where I pick the HDMI output from the computer and go to configure. The speaker setup window will pop up, and there is where you can verify if the hardware that you have connected to your HDMI output is surround sound capable. In windows7 there is no way to override the autodetection, so even if I want to send 5.1 surround sound to the HDFlow, I cannot.Now, to work around that problem, instead of connecting the computer to the HDFlow, I connected a PS3. The PS3, just like the computer autodetects the device you connect to it, and it decides if the device (HDFlow) is capable of surround sound or not. I am not going not go into details of what menus you have to navigate to manage the sound in the PS3. If you have a PS3, you know where it is, and is very straight forward. The advantage is that with the PS3 you can override the autodetection and send surround sound to your connected device, regardless of what the autodetection says.First of all, just like the computer, the PS3 autodetects the HDFlow as a stereo sound capable only device. So I did the override and tested the results. It did not work. There is sound coming only from the left and right front speakers only, nothing from the central speaker or the subwoofer, and of course nothing coming from the rear ones either. For all my testing I was using an AC3 sound file that plays a sound for every speaker separately, so you can identify which speakers are working and which are not.I called the technical support and explained all of this, the guy really seemed to wanted to help me but he did not know what the problem was. So he told me that he was going to pass the information to the engineers and return my call, but he never did.I gave it 2 stars because for me not having surround sound is a deal breaker, however if that is not an issue for you, this ...
