Nyrius Aries Home+ Wireless HD Transmitter Review

PERFORMANCE

Now that we are up and running we can clearly see the Telus TV programming, clear and perfectly in tune. As far as we see/hear, no latency. The much anticipated sigh of relief comes.Using the Telus TV remote aimed at the Wireless Receiver we work the menu and TV programming as if we were aiming it directly at the box itself. This tells us our IR extender is working and is properly positioned. What about gaming you ask? Two thumbs up, we played a round of NHL 16 with a solid win and game play was smooth and easily controlled. The only issue we ran into is if you are too far away from your video game console you’ll lose your wireless remote connection, but that is at no fault to the Home+. We did start to notice a little lag in connection when we tried to move the second TV from downstairs to out on the back porch. We fully believe that with clear line of sight you’d have no problem going 100’. The performance of the Aries Home+ is amazing in our opinion.PRICE & WARRANTY

For those of you who don’t mind the price and can appreciate the value of such a product, you are going to be happy with your purchase. The Home+ comes with a one year warranty and a lifetime customer support.

OVERALL ANALYSIS & FINAL THOUGHTS

We had no issues and think that Nyrius has hit the nail right on the head. Allowing you to place a TV and hook up any system you want to it anywhere in your house is, in our opinion, nothing short of perfect. This will allow you to get that TV in the garage you always wanted for those warm summer nights when you get booted to the dog house, or allow you to entertain on your back porch and have some music or a hockey game playing while you barbecue. Going from packaging to set up in under five minutes is a win to us.

A few small areas for improvement are always going to pop up though. Nyrius has only given us one HDMI cable. Therefore in order to have the loop in TV and the second TV hooked up to the receiver you’ll need to acquire an extra HDMI cable. Also, a little more weight to the base of the transmitter and receiver will give it a more sturdy form on whatever surface you put them. We found that the weight of the cords pulled and moved the receiver quite a bit and you had to manipulate the cords to get it in the perfect position you want it in.
