I currently have 1 transmitter and 3 receivers. The quality is at least as
good
as having hard-wired scart throughout the house. I use fairly high spec
wire but
only standard CAT5 sockets and patch panel. There is absolutely no
interference
or degradation. If you are looking at multiple sources then I believe there
is a
switcher under development that might be of interest.

This the impression I'm getting.... Seems like Keith is the man.

Last q is What type of CAT5 cable do you guys use / Supplier ?

So one last time - What hicups if any do you experience with the KAT5
system
? I'm suprised that you lot are saying 'No degradation to A/V
transmission'.
Do you not even experience any interference ?

Thanks for the feedback.
Shaf
