Â¿Is there any delay in transmission? I'm planning to use it for tv watching.

No, works great in real time. I watch direct tv while running using it. No delay.

There is not any delay in transmission. That is why we bought it too. My husband uses it to watch tv in bed early in the morning and I never hear it.

Mine worked well for a day without delay then stopped working alltogether. Cheap design i think.

Haven't noticed any delay issues, it works great for me! Just make sure both components are charged. I use it while on the treadmill.

It's absolute garbage!!! You can't plug it in while in use, since it just produces noise. The sound quality is aweful. As for delay...I didn't get that far. I plugged it in and was instantly appalled. I just bought a really long cable.

No delay, TV is the sole reason I purchased this device. I plug the transmitter into the usb port on my TV and it is constantly charged and only have to charge the receiver occassionaly. Seem when the charge begins to get low on the receiver I get a buzzing sound (distortion) other than that I love this device.

There is no transcoding, so there will be no transcoding delay. But there is some re-modulation, meaning the frequencies on the wire are translated to frequencies suitable for wireless, so there is some added latency, but you'd need lab equipment to measure it. A wired connection will always reject more interference than wireless, and fewer links in the signal chain will always reduce latency, so if you want to eliminate all doubt that this thing is slowing you down, you'll need to go wired. But practically speaking, your display most likely introduces more delay than this thing does. I play my PS3 with this thing all the time, and nothing about it affects my gameplay.

I'm having the same problem. No issues with the component connection, but problems with the HDMI connection. It sometimes shows fine and sometimes shows no signal (or takes 10-15 seconds to change channel). It is perfect with the Component connection.Like the others here I have a Samsung HD Cable box from Time Warner.

I have not noticed any delay between audio and Picture using the Kinivo 501BN. I currently have Chomecast, PS4, and appletv feeding into my device and outputting to a Samsung television. Awesome device with no complaints at the moment.

No lag using this receiver....but if for some reason you notice a little lag this receiver has a delay you could set in milliseconds that allows you to match up the video and sound. But I've never had to use this feature. I play alot of sports games and I have no lag at all. None on shooters either so you should be ok

There is always some delay when you are connecting with the transmiter. We are talking about micro-seconds when it connects. And it is olnly once wshen you aare getting connected.

I havent noticed a delay when I used it. If there is one it is hardly noticeable.

I have not noticed any delay. I listen with headphones and turn tv sound off. Very pleased with this product.

Yes there is a delay of up to 125 ms. This is not a problem if you watch TV, but the headphones are totally useless for recording music.

I have my PC hooked up via HDMI, but have to run a seperate audio cable (stupid dvi outs on my ancient graphics card) and there is no delay. I also have my chromecast hooked directly to the receiver and no issues. I'm very happy with it.

That's what I use. Of course, there is latency, but it works as I expected. Hope this helps!

I don't notice any delay. There is also a green led in the receiver that flickers when you press a button on your remote.

I perceive NO DELAY at all. The video transmission is very fast with no noticeable latency. When I attach a video camera to the RF transmitter, and a video monitor to the RF receiver, I do NOT notice any lag between the image on the video monitor and what the video camera sees. I have to say that for their low price, this RF transmitter / receiver pair provides top-notch performance and superb value.

Even if you use WiFi, the streaming is fast and reliable. I've had it for a long time now and never experienced any lag. It's just the menu that's very slow. It's fine if you know what you want to watch, but it's like being on dial up again if you are just browsing.

I certainly haven't seen a delay in the 3-4 second range, but I never paid attention much as it didn't matter since it was just sitting there recording. Any extra time at the beginning or end could be edited out. I don't know that it would work playing a game from, though. It's not like having video plugged into a monitor. (I mention this because you mention having a game capture card.)

No latency issues that I can see. You would have to set up some elaborate way of checking, but the box seems to do the job. One point of interest: the signal only goes one way (SDI to HDMI) and not the other (HDMI to SDI).

Thank you so much for your reply. Looking at spending 2k+ for a television gets kind of scary. The only reason I want it is for the Video game goodness I can get. I had a friend that had an old samsung 3 years ago and it had delay issues. He would push the button and a half second later his guy would shoot. arg. I would be so pissed. So I appreciate you putting my fears to rest. If you are playing gears of war then I bet it rules.
