    What frequency does the sender run at ? 5.8Ghz or 2.4Ghz?

    I can find nothing on their website.

    Thanks for asking.

    Actually the wireless hdmi kit uses the 5ghz frequency to transmit High definition content (up to 1080p). It uses WHDI technology:

    http://www.whdi.org/About

    This is completely different from the traditional 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz transmitters which transmit standard definition only and are connected via composite.

    • myarken on 09/08/2011 - 21:06

      Also, will the HDMI wireless kit, work with Foxtel IQ2 remote?

      How how do the sender & receiver run as suggested by the reviews?

      • Store RepHDcity @ HDcity on 09/08/2011 - 21:31

        My personal foxtel IQ2 got fried prior to being able to test this :(
        It should work. What we can do is supply you the unit and you could return it for a full refund if it does not suit your needs. Send me an email to sales at hdcity .com.au if you are interested

      Typo corrected. The 15M cable costs more than the 10m, 12.5m cables.

  • trinz on 09/08/2011 - 20:26

    I bought the Mygica USB Tuner so that I can plug it into my laptop, can you please advise if the reception is good inside buildings?

    • Store RepHDcity @ HDcity on 09/08/2011 - 20:37

      In Australia since transmissions are weaker you will need in most cases to connect it to the main antenna. If that is not suitable for you, send me an email and I could organize a refund.

      • trinz on 09/08/2011 - 20:47

        So I take it that even the DVB-T antenna won't be of much help then?
        If so, that kind of defeats the purpose of portability.

          The Product serves a number of markets, in Europe the antenna would work well as the transmissions are much stronger. In Australia due the lower density the intensity of the signals are much lower hence the issues. In any case, I have began testing the supplied mini-antenna in a suburban slightly below average area. Will let you know how it goes.

        • trinz on 09/08/2011 - 21:23

          Thanks for that. I'll still keep my order seeing that I can also find some use with the MythTV as well.

  • jong on 09/08/2011 - 20:41

    According to the site:

    T1680B Dual DVB-T TV Stick
    Linux driver available, Android 2.2 driver coming soon !

    …so it should work with MythTV. HDCity, that's a big selling point - it'd be worth checking to make sure, and then adding it to the description.

      Yes, that is true.

      I didn't want to emphasize on the linux support aspect because even though the manufacturer claims that the tuner is linux compatible, the drivers that support them are not from the manufacturer itself (something quite normal on the linux world). There have been a number of people succesfully installing them. The dongle uses the afatech AF9015 chip:

      http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Afatech_AF9015

      I have personally only tested the T1680 on a windows 7 media centre environment in a slightly below average area. All channels were picked up, recording was smooth, no issues.

        • Store RepHDcity @ HDcity on 09/08/2011 - 21:28

          I tested it on w7 64. win7 32/64, winxp, vista drivers are supplied.

      • ryang on 09/08/2011 - 21:39

        I actually emailed the manufacturer earlier today as I was looking into using this on my Ubuntu box, haven't had a reply yet.

        They list other models as being supported by any current kernel, but make no mention of the T1680B on the support page.

        http://www.mygica.com/download/d_dvbt.asp

        If I buy this, and it doesn't work, would you refund it??

        • jong on 09/08/2011 - 21:47

          They mention it here:
          http://www.mygica.com/pa/t1680b.asp

        • Store RepHDcity @ HDcity on 09/08/2011 - 21:49

          Yes, we would. Normally have to charge a re-stocking fee and would not refund the shipping portion even on items with free shipping as obviously the actual shipment has a cost. We can make an exception as I am interested in knowing how well this performs on a linux environment but please send me an email so I know and it is in our records. If it works well with ubuntu let me know as future users could benefit.

        • ryang on 09/08/2011 - 21:51

          @jong - yeh, they mention that on a lot of their tuners, but finding confirmation around the usual places proved difficult.

          I did however just find mention of it now on Whirlpool (http://whrl.pl/RcBdCE), so looks like a winner!

          @HDcity - thanks, I'll keep a note of it just in case. Great communication by the way.

      Hi,

      This tuner won't work in MAC computers.
      Regarding your cable question, the 3.19 1M cable was a promotion we made that it is out of stock.

      Our first customers will get the mygica dongle tomorrow (the deal was made yesterday, after-hours) but I can answer your question, this dongle, like any set top box in Australia needs to be connected to an antenna, a main antenna to ensure reception.

    Hi,

    I'm interested in the hdmi wireless kit, as the missus hates the sight of any kind of cables around the house.
    I intend to use it for a ps3 and PC though, do you know whether there is any lag if I use this device?

    It'll only be about 5-10m away but will be separated by a door.

    • Store RepHDcity @ HDcity on 10/08/2011 - 13:20
      +1

      I have tested this device from two different room separeted by 8-10m and two walls. It worked. No lag/latency, lag is of <1ms. I have tested this device on a media player, blu ray player, my laptop…and it worked. Can't tell you 100% how well it will perform with a PS3 because HDMI is not as simple as plug and play but it should work.

      Every customer purchasing the wireless HDMI kit from this sale will be able to refund it for a full refund minus a $10 fee for the shipping costs so feel free to purchase and experiment ;-)

      • neohito on 10/08/2011 - 13:52

        woo hoo thanks. That's just how I like it.

    • vidZ on 18/08/2011 - 09:55

      @neohito

      I just bought the wireless HDMI kit and I can tell you that it works perfectly with streaming from my PC to my TV downstair (14 meter distance - through wall obviously). No lag with the remote control. I have tried many different streaming solution (I even bought a Slingbox) and this is the first one where I am completely happy with the result. I am going to try Foxtel IQ2 + PS3 streaming tonight (hope it supports HDCP, it doesn't say in the box)

      • neohito on 18/08/2011 - 14:54

        Yep, happy with the purchase.
        Although now the weak points of my setup is the wireless keyboard, mouse and ps3 controller since they will start to get jittery and stop working waay before before wireless hdmi does

  • puchipucca on 10/08/2011 - 15:11

    Hi Rep,

    For the Ixtreamer, the spec mention it has xVOD which you can stream off megavideo. So does that mean we can add megavideo link and it will stream on the tv? If that work I might buy one cause I have a set of video on megavideo.

    Cheers,

    • Store RepHDcity @ HDcity on 10/08/2011 - 15:39

      Megavideo is supported. If you are purchasing the player because of this check th the youtube videos and the xtreamer forums to ensure the solution is adequate for you.
