The Review

Note: The information below relates to the Nyrius models available in the U.S. Model availability, price and features may differ in other locations.

Nyrius Wireless Transmitter Systems With wireless being the norm for so many of our electronic devices today, it’s pretty surprising to me that the standard way to connect a cable box to your TV is still with physical cables. And the surprise turns into annoyance when I want to put a TV in a room where I don’t have a cable outlet.

I had this situation when I bought my current house. I wanted to put a TV in my living room but there was no outlet there and neither option for putting one in—running the wires along the ceiling and floorboards inside the house or running them over the roof on the outside—was desirable.

Note: I’m using the term “cable” to mean any provider of TV services, including satellite and telecom companies.

Fortunately, after doing some research, I found the Nyrius 6-Channel Wireless Audio/Video Transmitter & Receiver System, which sends the cable signal wirelessly from the cable box in my bedroom to my living room TV. Since then, I’ve upgraded my system from the GS3200 model, which has a single input and doesn’t carry HD signals, to the Aries Home+ model, which does support HD and has two inputs.

The value of the second input is that you can use these same devices to transmit signals wirelessly from other types of audio and video equipment as well, e.g. DVD/Blu-ray players, streaming media devices, music systems, gaming consoles, etc. I have my transmitter set up with the cable box as one input and a Roku streaming player as the other.

Note: These systems can also be useful even if you have them in the same room as your TV, but connecting devices with a cable isn’t ideal, e.g. if the TV is mounted on the wall.

Nyrius Wireless A/V System Features

Mouse over the product link to see the current price at Amazon and click through for full specs and customer reviews.

  • ARIES Home+ Wireless HDMI 2-Input Transmitter & Receiver for Streaming HD 1080p 3D Video. This is the model I have with the two HDMI inputs. It also has a loop-through feature, which lets you connect it to one TV with an HDMI cable and to another TV wirelessly so you can use the same video devices on both sets. (Note that if you’re using it with a cable box, both TVs will have to play the same channel). And there’s a remote control that lets you switch between the inputs without having to unplug anything.
  • ARIES Home Wireless HDMI Digital Transmitter & Receiver for HD 1080p Video Streaming. This is similar to the Home+ model except it only has a single input and it doesn’t have the loop-through feature. So if you wanted to connect your cable box to two TVs, you’d need to connect the box’s HDMI out port to the wireless transmitter to send the signal to the TV in a different room and use one of the other connection cables (HDMI, coaxial, RCA composite, etc.) to connect to the TV near the cable outlet.
  • NY-GS3200 5.8GHz 6-Channel Wireless Audio/Video Transmitter & Receiver System. This was the first model I bought. It has a single input and uses composite cables (red/white/yellow plugs) to connect to your A/V device. It has six channels so if you have multiple devices transmitting wireless signals, you can change the channel to avoid interference. You can also get additional receivers to connect to additional TVs.
  • NY-GS10 5.8GHz 4-Channel Wireless Audio/Video Transmitter & Receiver System. This model is similar to the GS3200 except it only has four channels instead of six, which may be fine for you if you don’t have a lot of devices in your home that could interfere with the signal.

The IR Extender

One of the questions that comes up a lot with these types of systems is how do you control A/V devices from another room (e.g. change the channel on your cable box)? That’s where the IR extender comes in.
