Worked GREAT while it lasted. UPDATED: Great customer service.
UPDATED: Reach out to AV Access support & they were very responsive and addressed the matter.Worked VERY well at first, but died in less than 2 years (19 months). Would have highly recommended despite the high price, if it lasted longer. Very disappointed - could have been a 5 star item.

Works extremely well
I have only had this installed and working for a few days but it appears to work extremely well. It did take several days, and several emails to tech support, to get it configured, but this is more due to my unique requirements and not any fault of the equipment. When it is connected in its most basic configuration, I was able to transmit video/audio over 50 feet, and several rooms away, without any trouble. It was only because of my unique home automation and AVR configuration that I need to reach out to tech support. I received a response from “Kevin” within a few hours and he continued to respond to emails until my issues were resolved. My advice is to make sure you use high speed 8K HDMI jumpers from your source to the transmitter and from the receiver to your TV and then just follow the instructions provided and you should have no issue. But if you do have trouble, my experience has been that tech support will be very knowledgeable and should respond quickly (make allowance for time zone differences).

Worked great
Used this to send HDMI signal from DVD player to a receiver in another room over cat 5e. Plugged everything in and it worked instantly. Thank you for making a reliable product.

HDCP Issues
I have purchased 3 units from AV Acces and had issues with 2 of them so far. First unit the transmitter died on after about 2 years of use. This one with eARC has some kind of HDCP issue and I have to reboot it multiple times a week to get it working again. Would love a solution from AV Access that actually works!EDIT: AV Access reached out after leaving this review and has resolved the situation. Their customer service is excellent!

Excellent!
I have a TV setup thats in excess of 100' from the AVR unit, which is in the basement. The TV is surrounded by 4 Polk 8 speakers which produce excellent acoustics for use via the Amazon Music app. Because its just high grade copper wire, they are hard wired into the AVR unit, so there is minimal, if any loss in sound quality.The TV however is a different challenge. Because of the distance and multiple (sharp) turns involved, I initially purchased a soundbar, made by the same manufacturer as the TV, however the power unit failed. Rather than go that route again, I decided to find a method of hard wiring the TV into the AVR unit. I thought about a fibre optic cable but realised that data would be lost over such. distance. I stopped by Best Buy for advice and initially, they suggested an HDMI cable via the eARC port.After additional research, I was pointed in the direction of an eARC HDMI extender, but not this brand. Doing the due diligence however, paid further dividend as the initial brand I was close to purchasing, isn't compatible with the brand AVR receiver I have.So I looked around further and found AV Access and gave them a call. Kevin answered the phone: it was a relief to get connected to a live, clearly knowledgable, and extremely patient Tech. He understood my challenges immediately and initially pointed me in the direction of a cheaper unit. But when I explained more, he assertively singled out the AV Access eARC HDMI Extender Balun HDBaseT 3.0 4K@60Hz Over CAT6a/7 Ethernet Cable. It arrived a couple of days later and efficiently does exactly what he both explained it would do and what I needed. I called AV Access during the installation process to eliminate some (self imposed) confusion and again Kevin rectified my slight misdirection within a few minutes.Right now, the TV switches seamlessly from its own built in speakers to the surrounding speaker setup via its own remote control and plays crystal clear sounds without any delay! Problem solved.This unit is excellent and I thoroughly recommend it for its ease of use, installation, and compatability.

Short lifespan - great while it works! UPDATED
UPDATE: After escalation the company made it right with me even though it was out of warranty. Kudos to them for stepping up. The units are feature rich and perform great, happy to be able to recommend them again.On my second set of units because the first ones died in just over two years. Might return these looking for something with a better reputation and a manufacture that will stand behind their products. The units work great while they work. They just don't last.Over 300 for a unit that lasts two years is unacceptable. I contacted AV Access, they offered a 15% discount on a new purchase for my troubles. Shameful.

Defective Unit Constant HDCP Issues
The media could not be loaded. I believe I received a defective unit. Constant HDCP errors when enabling Dolby vision. Exactly 1 month after receiving the unit it no longer detects any HDMI signal. I read the company was responsive in helping/replacing the units but after reaching out to the company 4 times I was only offered miminal support. Feels like a waste of money. It is possible my unit was defective but I have been unable to get a replacement.
