I had the requirement to change my existing HDMI extender setup (HDelity), due to poor performance and drop outs, causing intermittent frame blanking on the remote TV set. I had previously installed a link between my extension and the main lounge using a CAT5e cable routed externally of about 40m length (I only installed this at the time because I had a partial box of CAT5e cable available). Reading on the various claims from previously installed HDMI extenders they said they would work over CAT5e cable, but at a shorter distance that using CAT6 cable. In the end I became fed up with the poor performance of the existing ones I had tried. I was tempted to install a CAT6 cable, but was put off by the arduous route that I had to run it. I therefore was scanning the products on Amazon to see if I could find a replacement extender. I looked at many, some over the £100 mark. Then I came across the PWAY unit at only £39.99, with all of the features I thought it was too good to be true. Any way I thought it was worth a try and bought the units. I installed the transmitter unit in my extension, connected to the HDMI output on my HUMAX Freesat receiver (as photographed) and the bonus of having a HDMI splitter built into the unit plugged into my Samsung TV. At the remote end in the lounge I plugged in the receiver and because the devices support POE (power over ethernet), no PSU was required. When I switched on the receiver in the lounge I immediately received a superb picture on the LG TV. I positioned the IT receiver and clicked on the HUMAX remote, worked perfectly. The PWAY units have given me a rock steady performance since install nearly 2 weeks ago. Great product - really pleased with my purchase.

Worked out of the box after others failed. So simple to setup. Sky Box - HDMI - transmitter box which is plugged in - Cat6 Ethernet cable out other side of transmitter into wall. At the other end which is about 10 metres away above my fireplace where the TV is mounted. Cat6 Ethernet cable out of wall into receiver which needs no power - HDMI out of other side of receiver into TV. Worked first time. So its device to HDMI into transmitter. Ethernet from transmitter into wall socket (cat6 ethernet cables in the wall) Ethernet from wall to receiver. HDMI from receiver into TV. 2 HDMI cables and 2 Cat6 ethernet needed. The only thing to note is that this is 1080p only. The ethernet cables will not allow any better and it will not let me set up UHD on my TV, it tells me to plug the HDMI directly from Sky to my TV to do this. Which obviously I would if I could but then I wouldn't need this product.... Recommended

Installed easily and worked first time. The power over Ethernet feature is brilliant, meaning you only need power at the sender end, not the receiver end. Rock solid picture that never once dropped out. However, after a day or so the remote IR sender stopped working. I reconnected everything and it worked again, but stopped after another day or so. It turns out that the 3.5" jack on the HDMI sender box for this wasn't getting a good connection and kept popping out ever so slightly. Try as I might, it wouldn't keep a good connection for very long. In the end I solved it by cutting a bit of the metal casing away to give better access. However, even with this necessity, this is a brilliant product for the price. Fully recommended.

I used this to extend my sky hd box (1080i) over 20m of external cat5e. Worked first time and no image our sound issues. Nice that you only need the power adapter at the transmitter end.

Transmitter appeared to function OK, including local pass through. Receiver Power light lit but STA light didn't for both short (1m) or long continuous lengths (up to 25m) of solid core high quality Cat5e. Signal was HDMI 1080p from Sky Q box. Sound setting normal, not Dolby. Dialling Sky Q output down to 720p didn't help either. Substituting with 2m length of Cat 6 cable also failed. Not convinced that PoE is practical for longer lengths of network cable. This is the second HDMI extender kit I've tried. Do suppliers test before despatch? Thank goodness for hassle free Amazon returns.

Beware, I didn't notice from the product description (POC=Power over Cable) that this is a PoE (power over Ethernet) device so the receiver requires NO Power PROVIDED the signal is sent via the Ethernet cable. I tried to send the HDMI signal (converted to Ethernet signal) through a Powerline adapter (like Devolo or Netgear 1000PL (1Gbps) adapter) through the mains electricity system. It didn't work at all possibly because the power sent via the Ethernet cable from the transmitter connected to a 5v USB supply) isn't transmitted when the signal enters the house mains wiring.. That said, when used correctly, it works really well over a long distance (not measured, but a perfect signal was sent through a roll of Ethernet Cat 5, I think, cable about 20m long). In this case the PoE is a godsend because no power is needed by the receiver because the 5v USB power supplied to the transmitter is sent through the Ethenet cable to also power the receiver...clever isn't it? So if you just want to send an HDMI/Ethernet/HDMI signal quite a long way by Ethernet cabling, this could well be your solution...

After running a 45m run of flat cable, all neat and clipped, i fired up the repeater and it did not work except a flicker every 10 seconds or so. I was livid and came onto amazon to 1 star it in anger when I saw a review mentioning flat cables. Low and behold I used a thin, round and old Cat5e cable and it connected and worked. Save yourself a double install and only use round cable first time round :) Picture quality is good and lag is unnoticeable. 10/10 for this item from me.

À ce prix là, on ne s’attend pas forcément à un appareil qui fonctionne sur une grande distance. Pourtant, testé sur 30m de câble ethernet, aucun problème. L’image arrive correctement. L’appareil a été utilisé pendant 5H d’affilé sur deux jours, sans aucun problème. L’alimentation unique via l’émetteur est vraiment pratique. Produit recommandé !

Used this to relay my security camera feed to a screen in another room. Works as intended (1080p) and easy to set up as long as the Cat cable has already been wired up behind the walls. Plug in the Cat cable (both units), the HDMI cables (both units) and the single power adapter on the transmitter end (none required on the receiver end) and ready to go. A nice feature is the HDMI out on the transmitter end so can plug in a monitor to see what's being sent to the transmitter unit (handy for troubleshooting). Another handy feature for troubleshooting is the light indicator to indicate if the unit is receiving a signal from the source. Couldn't test the IR as I didn't have anything to test with.

Ich hatte mir extra einen Smart TV gekauft um Aufnahmen von meiner Dreambox im Erdgeschoss zu schauen. Das Menü vom LG dafür ist oberster Schrott, wird nur noch (nach unten) getoppt von der hundsmiserablen Bedienung. Mit dem simplen Anschluß via RJ45 Kabel stelle ich jetzt nur den HDMI Eingang ein, die Bedienung der Box erfolgt, wie gewohnt, mit der Fernbedienung derselben, als säße ich davor. Ich empfehle daher unbedingt die Version mit FB Transmitter.
