If it really can cover the entire house, it would be ideal and almost necessary considering these days most people own at least two TV's.; Like this

by rodosboy January 8, 2008 9:45 PM PST: $600 Why not make it affordable to the masses from the start? I am all for wireless. In fact, I'm hoping cords will one day be eliminated. This should be priced like a wireless router. For $300 I could get an electrician to just run the wires in the wall.; Like this Reply to this comment

What about getting the audio wirelessly back from the TV to connect to the surround sound system.

by scompton2 January 9, 2008 7:23 AM PST: Actually they are marketing this to high end users that don't have their gear near their tv. Those people would never use any audio FROM the tv. The tv is used simply as a video monitor. All video and audio signals would come from a cable box, satellite receiver, dvd, blu-ray, hd-dvd, etc... Also for HBayani, you don't need a dvi input when you have HDMI inputs, just get a dvi to hdmi cable. What I want to know, is what good is this thing if it will only do 24fps? All video is 30fps except for some high end dvd, hd dvd, and blu-ray players. There are TVs that will take the 30fps and convert it back to 24fps, but that's done at the tv not the video source. Are there cable boxes or satellite receivers capable of outputting 24fps?; Like this


by Ringo51 January 9, 2008 6:21 AM PST: Almost, but not quite there.

I want one receiver on my HD TV/monitor and INDIVIDUAL transmitters on my sources; which are not conveniently located on a single rack, but scattered throughout the house. Not to mention my wireless laptop.; Like this Reply to this comment


by HBayani January 9, 2008 7:10 AM PST: They should have included a DVI input for computers. Also, I'm assuming the products will be using different channels/frequencies to prevent interference from your neighbor. As for getting the audio "back from the TV", it's always better to simply have the audio going directly to the surround sound system from the output device, or to have a separate connection: TV's output to Speaker's input.

I really hope they up the 1080p framerate capabilities of the FlyWire. 60 FPS is becoming pretty common for games.; Like this Reply to this comment
