I highly recommend this to everyone who wants to have a nice clean look in their entertainment systems.
I really like this solution, because in addition to working perfectly, the wall plates are easy to install, provide a clean look and don't require power like some other extenders do.
In conclusion, the combination of this product being a little expensive in relation to competition, and the base plates not reflecting the extra coin you have to drop on this to get the finished, wifey approved look, knocked this down to a 3 star.

The picture is perfect and allows me to place my computer where I want in the room.
Having put the phone down, I cycled the power on the HR23 and there it was, perfect HD picture @ 1080i!
Use this for satellite tv over a 50 foot run of cat6 cable and the picture is great ONLY with the Digital HDMI Voltage Inserter sold elsewhere on Amazon
The picture improved but still flickered sporadically.
Pugged the unit in to work with a DVR, and didnt work at all, i get no picture at all
a good system, looks good installed (keep in mind you need to run the power cord to the face)
The install was easy and straight forward, just plug and play
I had two sets installed side by side for redundancy in an important install.
You just punch down A to A, B to B.They give you a cheap punch down tool with the package--i didn't use this, as i have a professional punchdown tool, but the punch down tool they give you has a nice little wire stripper in it to remove the outside sheath from the cat6.Very nice product.
Better instructions or a more intuitive install would have made for a 5 review from me.
When it works, it works great - I just would expect the product to last at least 3-5 years at this price point.=======================================UPDATE2: Be careful with Tripp-Lite - I purchased this unit through the Amazon warehouse deals and Tripp-Lite refused to honor the warranty becasue the product was sold as 'used'.
Of course both units (sender and receiver) aren't typically broken, but diagnosing which unit is broken is impossible, so ordering a new pair is the only way to ensure you're going to have everything you need to get your AV system (or whatever these are supporting) is back up and running
The unit is working fine with up to 1920x1080p source material over my 35-40 foot cable run.
Strangely, the first two usets I received had defective remote units, but the third one works great

The first set has worked great for about 4 months so far (fingers crossed!).
I was a little reluctant but these work great
I am editing this review, I got my replacement and hooked it up and it seems to be working great now, I will not apologize for the bad review because the first one DEFINATELY did not work, and Tripp Lite still has never got back to me, but all is well
The powered one is working great to send an HDMI signal from a professional video camera to a professional projector without fail or flaw.
Install document needs some updates but onablesce installed the HDMI signal works great across the Cat6 cables No need to buy pre-terminated cables
I was nervous about it after reading the reviews, but the sense I got from most of the negative reviews seemed to focus on improper installation, trying to make the run too far or didn't match the cable lengths close enough
I could also talk myself that the new installation is slightly better than the previous, but the change would be pretty small by mere observation.
The installation worked fine on the first try and gets back to the original tidy look with wall plates on both ends of the cable run.

The next day I finished the installation by stuffing the cables into the wall and securing the plate
I needed to extend one of my cable boxes from the other room as I didn't want to pay for another box, was doubtful of running it through my cat5 cable runs in my house over almost 50 feet of cable, but these little boxes exceeded my expectation for picture quality, have it connected to a 49" lcd tv and looks as good as if it was plugged in directly to the cable box.
I installed this kit using two 35-foot 23AWG shielded CAT6 cables, and it provides excellent picture quality.
Very Poor Quality, others dont require you to set the gain for cable length... and get this for a 7ft cable it needed the gain about 1/3!
They describe problems when untwisting the wires at the ends to make the connections and in general the poor quality of bulk CAT 6 cable

I read a lot of reviews before I buy something, and I'm so glad this one has such excellent reviews because it really fits so well into my system that I couldn't live without it.

These wall plates get a lot of questionable reviews, and I was hesitant to order.
It is a bit complicated, and I suspect that faulty installation, NOT faulty manufacturing, is to blame for most of the negative reviews.
