What's Included
I bought this to stream my XBox360 from my livingroom to my computer monitor when the wife wants to watch TV. At first I had a little trouble getting things to work, I was getting stuttering, skipping of the picture and no sound. Changing the HDMI cables helped a little but it wasnt until I screwed the receiver and transmitter down that the stuttering-skipping-no sound finally ceased. Now I can sit at my desk & rock my livingroom.
