BEST ANSWER: We use it in a commercial studio and once we set it up we have not had to touch it since. The source goes on and off as well as the display with no issues. It is being fed by 1x8 hdmi splitter amp that provides a consistent resolution so that may have something to do with it. It has been the best solution we have used so far and we have tried many. Cat6 wiring is a must.

I have mine plugged in continuously and haven't had to do anything to them since installed. No power cycling or disconnecting and reconnecting of the HDMI cables.

I tried to use this device with a MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 3/USB-C to HDMI adapter (the one Apple makes), and get a scrambled screen. It works great with a laptop that has a built in HDMI port. Any idea why it does not work with the adapter? Thank you.

Our extenders are not made to be connected to adapters or converters so we cant guarantee they will work unless you go straight from the source to the display.

Probably not the right version of HDCP compliance. If you need 2.2 like for the new Apple TV it’s most likely your issue.

Regular reboots required
It seems like these boxes go out of sync and stop transmitting. I would ask for a refund and go with HDMI over IP system instead. It's been consistent where I'll change to the HDMI input these are suppose to send image to and need to power cycle the boxes to bring back the video feed.
Disappointing overall. Good image when it works but IRRITATING reliability.

Great Product
We had to replace what we had originally due to buying a 4k TV. The original require 2 Cat5 or 6 cables, this does not. Once hardware is in place and cables attached, it worked with no issues. Picture is great and we have not had any connection or other issues at all.

No mounting bracket. Instructions are incorrect.
Although the unit is very light, in a mission-critical environment you/we need to secure everything. There are no holes or bracket to do so.
Instructions incorrectly state that both receiver and transmitter need to connect to an AC/DC adapter. They do not. In fact, the package only includes one power adapter.

I purchased two of them and one of them works fine, the second one needs to have the power disconnected and reconnected each time the television is turned on. This will be returned for exchange.

Compact and reliable
The extender is used regularly allowing me to watch TV and video sources from the living room in my shop area. I have tested it with 4k, but only use 1080 at this time. It allows me to have a smaller footprint in the shop and still control the video source across the building.
Saves me money from needing an additional set-top box while also allowing me to watch movies or other feeds, since it is fed by a HDMI switch.
