Amazon.com Product Description
The Terk LF30-RX acts as an extra receiver for the LF-30S Leapfrog A/V system, helping users transmit and receive wireless audio and video signals throughout the house. Thanks to the LF-30S (sold separately), users can store all their A/V components, including satellite receivers, DVRs, DVD players, or camcorders, in one room, while watching audio and video footage in other rooms--all without running any wires on the floor or through the walls. The handy system also eliminates the necessity of buying extra components for each TV. Users can even transmit audio files, such as MP3 or WMA music, from an office computer to a pair of powered speakers in the living room. The LF30-RX receiver is an add-on to the LF-30S, which initially comes with one transmitter and one receiver. This LF30-RX connects to a second TV or speaker system through its stereo RCA audio and video outputs or its coaxial F-type RF output. Once connected, it transmits IR remote commands to the main transmitter, and then receives clear, crisp signals across the 2.4 GHz frequency band. The system offers a generous range of 150 feet, and easily penetrates walls, doors, ceilings, and floors without interference. In addition, a built-in modulator ensures that you can connect to any TV, whether brand-new or old. And though the LF30-RX is a single unit, users can also buy additional LF30-RX receivers to connect even more TVs to the wireless system. The receiver measures 5.5 by 1.75 by 3.75 inches (W x H x D). What's in the Box Receiver unit, AC adapter, AV cable, RF cable and owners manual.
SoSo
I bought this receiver to go along with my existing Leap Frog wireless A/V system....I put one in the kitchen and it worked well with the old base receiver...Then I added one in my husbands hobby room and it just didn't pick up a signal at all, so I changed it out with the old one (which pics up fine) and put this one in our bedroom which was a lot closer to the receiver...It just does not operate well over 25 feet..
Great Performer!
System has worked flawlessly for the 6+ months I have had it in use. I would recommend this to anyone needing additional TV connections to their satellite, etc. One caveat, make sure there are no other 2.4ghz units (phone, router,etc.) or they will definitely produce interference.
It Didn't Work
I purchased the the Terk LF30-RX add-on to work with a Terk LF-30S System I purchased about 5 years ago. On the surface the two are supposed to be compatible as they opperate on the same frequencies. How ever I was never able to get the either of two add-on units, purchased from different retailers, to communicate with my older system. I spent a half an hour with a Terk technician with no resolution. I would not recommend getting this unit to work with an older base unit.
Install Coaxial Wires If You Can
The product functions but often gets interference and poor signal going from one floor to another, just about 20 feet between transmitter and receiver. Great idea but inadequate implementation make the product a novelty or toy rather than a real solution for most audio/video applications. I would highly recommend going through the trouble of installing a coaxil or other wired connection rather than buying this product. Save your $$$.
Works through brick walls.
I set this up and transmitted the signal through two brick walls. The signal was acceptable. In the church it projected through a woman and more that 30 feet and the signal was great.
