OK, I posted a week ago about my AV transmitter playing up - turns out they were faulty. I borrowed a pair of these from a friend (http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/463a678d010bf5a2273fc0a87f3306d5/Product/View/L5963) and they work ok: The picture is crystal clear but I'm getting a single line of interference from my router and it gets bigger when my download rate goes up. The problem is solved by turning off my Wireless router - which fails the entire purpose of having a TV in my home office connected with an AV transmitter to SKY. I've tried to change channels on the router (CH 1 to 11) and on the AV transmitters (CH 1 to 3) but it didn't solve it.

Question: If I opt for a 5.8ghz system, will it interfere with my 5.8 phones?

I have a combination of DECT and 5.8 phones at the moment.

Don't know about the 5.8Ghz phones but interferences on the phones is less of a hassle than interference on the wireless Internet. I had strange problems with my 802.11g network until I realised it was both the video sender and cordless phones. Now I have two machines connected over 802.11a (5GHz) which are immune to most other transmissions and as fast a 802.11g

System One: Popcorn Hour A200, PS3 SuperSlim, NPVR and Plex Server running on Gigabyte Brix (Windows 10 Pro), Sony BDP-S390 BD player, Pioneer AVR, Raspberry Pi running Kodi and Plex, Panasonic 60" 3D plasma, Google Chromecast

System Two: Popcorn Hour A200 , Oppo BDP-80 BluRay Player with hardware mode to be region free, Vivitek HD1080P 1080P DLP projector with 100" screen. Harman Kardon HK AVR 254 7.1 receiver, Samsung 4K player, Google Chromecast

Super illegal eh? I have a few 1 watt ebay cameras left, working fine for years and not had a visit at all so I'm guessing that they are fine.
