If you want to wall mount your flat screen, you still may not have a power outlet hidden behind the TV, so you either have a visible power cable, or you still have to rip the wall open for a totally clean look. The only advantage I see to this device would be for homes that did provide a wall outlet and coax cable for a flat screen, yet never included an HDMI cable in the original install. And I'm skeptical as to whether the video is an interference free as they claim.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 10th 2008 9:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Belkin's FlyWire does 1080P without wires]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/belkins-flywire-does-1080p-without-wires/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/belkins-flywire-does-1080p-without-wires/</guid><description><![CDATA[They quote custom cable installs reaching $3000 in price, seriously what TV are they installing that would warrant somebody spending $3000 to hook the damn thing up.  The technology has some merits, allows for some clearer installs.  However, I think I'll save hundreds of dollars and just punch a few holes in the walls till this comes down in price by quite a bit.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kal326]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 10th 2008 10:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Belkin's FlyWire does 1080P without wires]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/belkins-flywire-does-1080p-without-wires/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/belkins-flywire-does-1080p-without-wires/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think what they're quoting are costs to have a wirefree clean install.  You know, cutting holes in the wall, running an HDMI cable up from your cable box, re-plastering the wall, painting, etc...<br><br>What's appealing to me about this type of idea is that of moving all audio/video components from having to be stored under the TV.  They could be tucked next to the couch inside an end-table or something, which for my place would be nice.  <br><br>What I'm also curious about is the wireless range.  It would be pretty slick to have my one cable box hidden away and be able to send the HD video signal to different television sets in my bedroom or kitchen (places that don't have even COAX wired.)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Todd]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 10th 2008 10:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Belkin's FlyWire does 1080P without wires]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/belkins-flywire-does-1080p-without-wires/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/belkins-flywire-does-1080p-without-wires/</guid><description><![CDATA[The 'whole-home' moniker is a little misleading.  In most installations, 'whole-home' means that you have several output devices (tvs, speakers) that are fed by this one system.  I don't believe you can have one transmitter and many receivers, and if you did, if it would allow different inputs to be fed to each room (multi-casting).  The cost savings is great now, but I'm sure that cost for custom installations will drop with products like these entering the market.  It's about $3000 now because there are no alternatives, you have to have an installer creatively run wire, and you pay a premium for it.<br><br>I still think this is an incredible product and maybe they'll plan for that capability in the future.  THAT would make it a killer.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jamie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 10th 2008 10:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Belkin's FlyWire does 1080P without wires]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/belkins-flywire-does-1080p-without-wires/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/belkins-flywire-does-1080p-without-wires/</guid><description><![CDATA[6 total inputs, 5 of them HD.. impressive<br>Multi-room capable.. ir remote with rf repeater.. nice<br><br>If the quality is there, this is a hell of a product.. guess we'll wait til October to see if they get some competition.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ds]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 10th 2008 10:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Belkin's FlyWire does 1080P without wires]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/belkins-flywire-does-1080p-without-wires/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/belkins-flywire-does-1080p-without-wires/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well.. i guess I had my hopes up too high..

That'll make Monster Cable so happy! :)  Away with the wires!!!<br><br>Of course, then we'll have to deal with surround speakers.  I know if or when speakers go wireless, they may always have to be plugged into an outlet for power (I highly doubt batteries will ever provide enough power to drive good speakers (unless battery tech is greatly improved) - not to mention, having to deal with recharging and swapping that many batteries in and out in a surround system would be a pain), but having to deal with outlets would be much easier than dealing with routing speaker cable all over the place.<br><br>Then there's the hope that wireless power will happen, too, as I know some prototype examples of that have been effected.
