Advantages: Watch Satellite In A Second Room With No Wire Disadvantages: It's Still Only One Channel
THE BASICS OF THE UNIT
Basically if you have a unit, be it a DVD player, a sky box or a video, that has a scart or a composite signal output then this unit will allow to view the signal in another location (up to 30m from the unit in a house) without having to fit a wire.

The camera has a tiny 8mb memory so you can only tak up to 49 picture and 20 seconds of video. You can quickly delete any unwanted pictures but to see what you want to delete you have to upload the pictures to your computer using a usb cable. This process takes around a minute ...
