Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Terk LF30-RX acts as an extra receiver for the LF-30S Leapfrog A/V system, helping users transmit and receive wireless audio and video signals throughout the house. Thanks to the LF-30S (sold separately), users can store all their A/V components, including satellite receivers, DVRs, DVD players, or camcorders, in one room, while watching audio and video footage in other rooms--all without running any wires on the floor or through the walls. The handy system also eliminates the necessity of buying extra components for each TV. Users can even transmit audio files, such as MP3 or WMA music, from an office computer to a pair of powered speakers in the living room.

The LF30-RX receiver is an add-on to the LF-30S, which initially comes with one transmitter and one receiver. This LF30-RX connects to a second TV or speaker system through its stereo RCA audio and video outputs or its coaxial F-type RF output. Once connected, it transmits IR remote commands to the main transmitter, and then receives clear, crisp signals across the 2.4 GHz frequency band. The system offers a generous range of 150 feet, and easily penetrates walls, doors, ceilings, and floors without interference. In addition, a built-in modulator ensures that you can connect to any TV, whether brand-new or old.

And though the LF30-RX is a single unit, users can also buy additional LF30-RX receivers to connect even more TVs to the wireless system. The receiver measures 5.5 by 1.75 by 3.75 inches (W x H x D).

What's in the Box
Receiver unit, AC adapter, AV cable, RF cable and owners manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terk remote TV, August 9, 2005

This review is from: Terk LF30-RX Add-on Receiver for Terk LF-30S TV Anywhere Wireless A/V System (Electronics)

Product works as advertised but reception at the remote TV is definitely affected by a 2.4ghz cordless phone. If the phone is in operation, the remote TV's sound has to be muted and the picture becomes full of static. I ordered a new 5.6ghz phone from AT&T only to discover it broadcasts from handset to base at 5.6ghz, but from base to the handset at 2.4ghz! Be careful if you order a new cordless phone! Other than the phone interference problem, the TERK works well. It even works my DVR remotely. and the buttons on the DVR remote control work perfectly when pointed at the TERK receiver.

These add on receiver units allow placing a second TV anywhere in the home without running coax cable. This is a great idea but why they selected the same frequency as most microwave oven magnetron tubes is beyond me. When the wife runs the microwave, you lose the signal and the TV makes the most awful noise. Even with that I would recommend for placing a TV set where there has been no cable run.

4.0 out of 5 stars not perfect, but works, November 15, 2008

This is the third receiver I am using in my home and for the most part, it works as advertised. Placement and aiming is the key to good performance as some computers, wireless networks and phones will cause interference. Microwaves will totally destroy the signal while in use. I couldn't get the remote extender to work properly however. But for my use that's no big deal. For my application, it's a lot easier using one of these receivers than running wire under my house.
