" ...  The LG HD TV in the kitchen HAD been connected wirelessly using a Nyrus 1080P wireless extender ... also, the Samsung UHD TV in the bedroom was connected to DirecTV via a second Nyrus 1080P transmitter and receiver, just like the one in the kitchen. ... The only TV that remains on (at least as long as the DirecTV doesn't drop its signal) is the WIRED 82" UHD Samsung. ... The bedroom TV and the 82" UHD unit (bedroom in HD, family room in UHD) and the DirecTV "server" and "client" continued, not dropping a bit (or missing a beat). ... I can see the 82" UHD and the 24" HD TV from my perch here on the couch. ... Both of them are showing beautiful pictures -- and I just walked into the master bedroom and the 55" UHD TV (showing upconverted HD) is also displaying a beautiful picture (and sound). ... Of course, it is possible, too, to have one TV watching Amazon Prime, one watching Netflix and the third watching DirecTV or a 4K HDR movie (only the 82" can actually display true UHD HDR of course). ... I would have no problem recommending the Nyrus 1080P units with the caveat that using more than one of them simultaneously could cause signal-conflict issues. ... If you've tried wireless HDMI 1080P previously without much success, this unit may very well change your mind.  ...  "
