hi,

i'm looking for an av sender kit - any recommendations?

and while i'm here, can anyone recommend a full hd, freeview enabled tv that's around 15'' screen-wise? 'small' tvs seem to be 19'' now!

thanks,
helen.

That's because 19inch IS a small TV

15 inch sets were 4:3, 19 inch is 16:9 - pretty well the same size.

There's also little use in Full HD with a set that small, unless you want to use it as a computer monitor? (where you would still be better with a larger one).

There are a few sets below 19in. Though they seem to be very much the cheap end of the market, you may not find a LG or Samsung at that size and very very unlikely to find a Sony or a Panasonic from what I can see.

thanks both - and good point that 19'' is basically the 16:9 equivalent

As for the video sender. What use are you putting it to? The type of source device may have a bearing on what type of sender you need.

For example if the source device only has a HDMI output and no SCART or other forms of analogue output that will need a HDMI compatible sender. These are somewhat less common than ones that use SCART or Composite Video and usually more expensive.

Also the distance between sender and receiver and what is in-between them will affect things. Going through lots of walls and floors could attenuate the signal so much that it is next to useless.

A friend of mine ordered a 19" set, thinking it would be OK for a bedroom. When I went round some days later, he was complaining that it still hadn't arrived. I noticed an unopened parcel sitting next to him. "Isn't that it?", I asked. "Oh, no", he replied. "That's xxx (some small item he'd ordered at the same time, and hadn't felt the need to open)". I checked. It was the TV. We agreed that it was comically tiny, and entirely unsuited for the room he'd planned to put it in...

Top Tip: If in doubt, make a template out of cardboard the same size as the screen you plan to buy. Place it in position. Revise decision as necessary.

the sender's to get sky+hd in a bedroom - distance shouldn't be an issue as it's a smallish flat. there's one wall to get through plus a wardrobe, and there's a stone wall right outside the external flat wall that might cause 'reflection' issues possibly! used to have a 2.4ghz nikkai one (i think) that worked until someone messed around with it. are 5,8ghz ones generally more robust?

and yes, trying cardboard is a good idea - thanks

A 5.8 hz should be better. The 2.4 band is rather cluttered and when I had a 2.4 av it went bonkers when nearby microwave was in use.

Amazon or Argos or maplin should have something suitable.

thanks - are there any better brands to go for? or are they all quite similar?

2nd the microwave bit, TV pictures breaks up and turns b&w.
