If I need to run an ethernet cable to get 80ms of delay, I might as well run a bunch of long cables for the same price (with repeaters if needed) and not get delay.

Still, it's a decent and simple solution for the price. If your house is already wired for ethernet it saves you from punching holes or hanging wires..

It does seem like a really good solution for a htpc. I wonder if it supports wake on LAN. I am a little disappointed that its not HDMI 2.0 or even support HD at 60 FPS as many tvs can at least support that.

I was super excited reading this article and then I got to "30 FPS" and my heart just broke.

Hope they make a slightly better version that can do 60 fps...that's not asking much.

I struggle to see the $100 price point enough to keep me from getting the razr. I was expecting a much lower price, and maybe with wifi too. Oh well.

I would like to see a simple device that only transmits audio and video signals from a device to a TV. Just have two HDMI dongles, one that goes into the source device and one that connects to the TV.

Well...you can just connect a PC to your TV that way...this is designed to allow you to leave your PC in another room and still have that experience.

What I propose is the same thing, but simpler. By just having two dongles that can be plugged into any device that has HDMI you could still have the source device in a separate room but you would also be able to use it conveniently to connect any HDMI device without having to run a cable. For example, I have a wall mounted TV and we only have a single HDMI line that goes through the wall for the cable box. With the device I am describing I could also hook up any source device that has HDMI without having a cord looking bad coming from the back of my TV.
