This Actiontec MyWirelessTV2 MWTV2KIT01 transmitter and receiver let you wirelessly connect an HDMI-enabled media player and stream live high-definition content up to 100' away.
Q: Must source tv be on for second tv to work.
A: No, only the cable-direct tv set top box must be on. This assumes you have used an HDMI cable to connect from the cable box to the Actiontec transmitter and then connected the transmitter to your tv. If you connect the cable box to the TV and the TV to the transmitter, you may then need to have the TV on.
Q: Can you watch two different shows one on the transmitter TV and the other on the receiver tv
A: No, the show on the transmitter source (cable or satellite box) is sent to the receiver. The receiver is just running off the one box so whatever is selected will play on both TVs.
Q: I want to connect my TV to my Comcast Infinity cable box wirelessly
A: It worked for me. I have my transmitter connected to a Comcast HD DVR box upstairs and the receiver is connected to a tv in the kitchen. No problems at all. Keep in mind that the receiver must be connected to the receiving tv, so you'll need to figure out how you want to do that, but the receiver/transmitter are both fairly small.
Q: Says it will work for 3 HDTVs simultaneously for multiroom entertainment
A: Yes you need a receiver for each tv.
A: Yes. Our components are in the closet. Ours is connected to a receiver but should work the same.
Q: Will the wireless HDMI connect to a HP desktop computer with HDMI capability?
A: Yes, I have mine hooked up to my laptop and both audio and video transmit.
Q: Max distant from hdmi unit to tv?
A: The maximum distance is 100 ft. away.
Q: To transmit from a cable box to a 2nd TV does the 2nd TV need an antenna?
A: No.....You connect the HDMI Transmitter to the Cable box and the Receiver to the 2nd TV. The Transmitter will send a wireless HDMI Output signal to the Receiver .
