Video Senders

Using Virgin tv (silver Samsung box) and wireless broadband,

Looking to get a video sender, tried emailing maplin and they said they couldn’t assure me if this was compatable and recommended another product that was £50 dearer.

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=224299 is the one I was thinking of getting


Do I have to shell out for a posh one due to the remote control coding?

It says it's compatible with Cable, but then says not compatible with Sky+ or Virgin remotes??

Re: Video Senders

Thats what i thought.

But got this email from maplin.

Your FAQ Question: Is this compatible with a virgin smasung silver box?One of these, http://www.digital-tv-advice.co.uk/i..._v_box.jpgWant to be able to view and change channel from another room.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Maplin Technical Support,

Unfortunately we cannot guarantee compatibility with your item.

Re: Video Senders

I have that exact one and it works fine with remote. Tried it with the silver Samsung V Box, SA V+ and Samsung V+.
