Has anyone used the Peerless HDS200-R for streaming to a TV? It is a pricier solution but unlike wireless units like the Diamond WINTVPRO, the Peerless streams does not require line-of-sight. It even streams through walls.

When I take into account the time and labor to run long HDMI cables, the Peerless units actually make more sense.

That's pretty cool, and in the 5.00GHz range there is no problem through walls etc. I see the receivers cost right at $400 each. Do you know the cost of the transmitter? (not listed on the site)

You will have more problems with walls in the 5gig Hz that 2.5gig . The lower the feq. the more it will go though stuff. That's how weather Radar works ( it's in the 5 to 6 gig Range ) but you need the band whit you get with the higher freqs.

Saw an ad for a 3-unit set-up at $2395.00... , and as much as I'd love to have it, I think I'll stick with VGA cables.

But this kind of application, short distance & low power are perfect for 5GHz. 190kHz AM at 1000W would go 100's of miles, but I doubt anyone's going to make that, or that the FCC would allow it!

Those statements are misleading at best. There are many factors involved with transmission of radio frequencies such as transmitter power, receiver quality, type, size, and height of antenna, transmission mode (am fm pcm etc), bandwidth etc. The radio frequency itself is only a small part of the equation and is not the sole determining factor in how far it travels or 'what it will travel through'.

In cases of transmitting mixed media signals (af and vf), you're limited by bandwidth and power. The better the transmitter and receiver qualities, the better the signal will travel. Without comparing the specs of the different transmitter/receiver combinations, it's difficult to say which ones will work better, since most of the less expensive ones are designed for home use/limited distance.
