Today, I am cleaning out my garage and I have my Home Roam receiver connected to my 13 inch tv. I am watching the Sixers playing Knicks on NBA TV wirelessly! The other connection is hooked into my cable box in the upstairs bedroom. My garage is detatched so I would guess the two connections are at least 80 feet apart. I love it!



Tonight, I am lying in bed watching the CBS NCAA tournament game on the big screen and watching the TBS game on the 7 inch screen with the sound turned down.

I just discovered I can hook it up to a bigger TV as long as it has the Yellow and White connections (does not have to have the red). Awesome! It can save a person from renting an extra cable box.

How does this work? Can you hook the little tv to the big tv? I would like this if I could use it on another tv.

As long as the bigger TV has the white and yellow connections, you are good to go. You will need a cable like this. If your TV also has the red connection, use it.



I watched the NCAA tournament on my front porch tonight.

Can you watch the little tv while its charging? 1 or 2 hrs wouldn't last an entire movie or sporting event. Just as information, Yellow is video, Red and White is Left and Right audio (white for mono audio)
Thanks for the info on this unit it is really neat.

Edited because I didn't pay attention in publik edumacashun spelling class

Actually, the battery has been lasting more than 2 hours (almost 3). I am almost positive you can watch while it is charging.

I am having some friends come over and watch the Buckeyes game tonight. I may set up a TV on the front porch for the one's that need to take a smoke break once in awhile.

Having some friends over today to watch the Reds opening day game. I am going to hook this up to a 13 inch TV on the patio bar (shaded) while we are playing beanbag toss or I am BBQ-ing.

the best use for it is for watching the signal strength meters when you align the hd dish.

So, help me in understanding how this product works. With it attached to my Directv box inside the motorhome and my TV outside in the patio, I can use the remote for the Directv box to select channels, program autotunes, etc. while outside. Correct? I really like the idea of not having to move my box outside to utilize our satellite TV.
