Am considering the above so I can watch Sky in bedroom. Has anyone any experience of this model? Does it work? And is there a health hazard given that radio waves are being transmitted through the house?

    No experience of this particular brand, however, I normally find there is some breakup when used between floors/distances very simple to cable RF out to second TV.

    5.8 should be much 'cleaner' than the standard cluttered 2.5mhz as not so much general stuff will use this high band,no interference from microwave ovens either
    never put off buying a bargain today,it may be gone tomorrow

    The Qose 5.8GHz Video Sender is terrible. There is interference on each of the 8 channels, signals from a TV remote cause a beeping sound to come from the TV & horizontal bars appear on the screen. The range between the sender & receiver was approx. 15m through 1 ceiling & 1 wall.
  • I recently bought the Qose 5.8GHz sender from Amazon and as far as picture is considered, it worked very well, right away.

    I am transmitting through one ceiling - picture is crisp and only gets some interference when walking close to the receiving TV.

    My only bugbear is that I can't get the IR Extender to work, so I can't put my Sky+ box in a cabinet as I would like. Has anyone experienced difficulties with this?
  • worked well for me, when I had found the right channel, you need to put the IR eye in the middle of the SKy + box

    You are constantly being bombarded by radio waves in your house.

    Stop reading the Daily Wail and its overhyping of non-existent problems. Funny how people are worried about the mobile phone mast near their house but quite happily clag a mobile phone to their ear which is transmitting less than 1/2" from their brain at a much stronger signal strength (thousands of times) than the masts signal will be at that point.
