Channel Plus high-res transmission
By martin scheid
If you need to broadcast high-resolution video images, from cameras, cable TV, and DVD/VCR this is what you will need to broadcast throughout the house.

This is a good way to view your DVR on all your TVs
By John M.
I purchased this kit so that I could watch programs stored on my DVR on any TV in the house. It has worked extremely well. You'll have to install coaxial cable that runs from each TV to this device. That could be a little expensive if you pay to have it done but if you go the D-I-Y route it's fairly reasonable. You're limited to standard definition for your video input but I don't have HD channels so that wasn't an issue. The IR receivers for your remote control work but are susceptible to interference. Moving the IR receivers 1 foot from the TV solved the problem. The interference only effects the remote control operation and not the TV reception.There isn't much of a description of this unit on Amazon but Channel Plus's web site has some helpful info. The kit has 2 AV inputs for something like your DVR or DVD player. You can assign a different unused channel for each input. My DVR is 36 and the DVD is 38 so if I want to watch my DVR I'll tune my TV to 36. You can also connect your cable TV or over the air antenna to the unit so all your TVs can receive those channels too. If you receive NBC over channel 3 you just tune any of your TVs to 3 to watch. You can watch different inputs on each of your TV's. I can watch the DVR on 36 in the kitchen, the DVD on 38 in the living room and NBC on 3 in the bedroom at the same time.I used the 5557BID to replace a wireless setup. This unit works much better. It took me a day to install coaxial cable but it was well worth it. The standard definition picture is clear and the sound is crisp. If you have all your shows being recorded to a DVR like Mythtv, Windows Media Center or Tivo and want to be able to watch them on all your TV's you should consider this system.
