The problem is since this is on the bleeding edge of technology it has a number of glitches. The largest problem you are going to run into has nothing to do with signal interference, but rather signal compatibility. I hooked up an Xbox360, Cable Box, PS3, and DVD player/sound system and sent the video signal to my projector and used the Toslink out for the sound which went to my DVD player/sound system. For the Xbox360 I could get video to get sent to my projector, but the sound wouldn't transmit to my sound system. For my PS3, which is made by the same company, I could get sound just fine, but no video. The only thing that worked properly is playing a DVD, but that was because the sound was localized to the system already otherwise I'm sure I would have gotten video only out of it. Bottom line, for video games and tv there was no lag, no contouring, and no pixilation. I ended up returning this product and opting for a hard wire run and just putting cable covers on to hide the cords. My advice, wait for the second generation of this product, and if you are going to buy make sure there is a good return policy...that's why I bought it on Amazon. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Works great By J. Yang I got this unit from another site where they have the 40" XBR for $999 and this comes free with it. Setup was easy, and worked flawlessly. Have the receiver hooked up to a Sony TV (Sony website lists compatible TVs that will work with this receiver, looks like all their TVs are on the list), one nice thing about the receiver is that it has HDMI control, so when you turn off the TV, the receiver is turned off too. Picture quality is great, and there is no detectable delay with the signal going through the wireless transmission, I have the transmitter hooked up via component cable from satellite box, and an HDMI connected TV from the same satellite box and the two TVs appear to be in sync. When the unit first powers on, there is a 3 ~ 5 second delay before you would see any picture on the wireless connected TV. The distance between my transmitter and receiver is about 50 feet with no line of sight and both picture and sound are perfect with no interference from cordless phones (I have DECT 5.8GHz), wireless lan (mine is running at 2.4GHz) or microwave. Highly recommended if you have a Sony TV. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. How Dare I Doubt Sony By J. Russell I had my eye on this product since 2008, and just recently I purchased it. I almost passed it up by reading the previous reviews; good thing I gave it a shot. Currently, I have the WL1 connected to my PS3, to keep it out-of-sight-out-of-mind. Thinking that sony is as sony does, I tried to route the receiver through my STR-DN1000. After hours (HOURS) of troubleshooting, I nearly gave in and was ready to return the unit. Then I consulted the manual (why do we always result to the manual as a last resort?) and routed the receiver to the HDMI port of my KDL-46EX700. Perfecto!!!! After some tweaking, I also had 7.1 surround sound. In short, I am pleased with everything. Sony and Amazon gets kudos. See all 9 customer reviews...
