What customers say
Customers highly value the Blackbird 1080P Video Extender for its specialized ability to transmit clear 1080P video over existing coaxial cable. This feature is a significant advantage for retrofitting installations where running new wiring is impractical. Many users find the setup simple and report excellent picture quality when the system functions perfectly. The core strength is delivering substantial value by repurposing existing RG-6 infrastructure. However, reliability is a noted concern. A segment of users experiences intermittent signal drops, often linked to HDCP issues requiring power cycling. Performance is also highly sensitive to the quality and condition of the coaxial cable used. While effective for many niche scenarios, buyers should confirm their cabling is in excellent condition for optimal, consistent results.
