    I am looking at streaming video from a VHS recorder (which has free to air and pay TV inputs) to my computer Winfast TV Expert video card.
    I have been looking at a wireless sender and a receiver pair which would plug into the VCR unit and the video TV card.
    I have heard of issues of incorrect frequency and video and audio sync problems.
    Before I start investing I would appreciate any advise as to this working successfully.

    Why don't you just get a multi-input card? This will save some signal degradation, and will also allow you to recieve digital TV.

    KillerBug,
    Thank you for the reply.
    I had thought of that previously, however I was thinking about the streaming for a few reasons.
    1/ Send old VHS tapes from VHS recorder to computer for digital conversion without running wires.
    2/ Unable to receive paid TV channels on TV card.
    3/ Watch paid TV on other TV without having decoder box.

    I assume then that this VCR has digital support? If you don't mind me asking: What make/model is it?

    Hello All,
    I finally purchased an AV Sender/Receiver from ALDI.
    It transmitts at 5.8GHz, reception at the computer is Excellent also
    Terrific on LCD TV.
    All works without any problems, excellent device.
