Belkin just launched a new wireless HD reciever and transmitter called the FlyWire. The FlyWire wirelessly connects devices such as Blu-ray players, receivers, video-game consoles, and set-top boxes to HDTVs and projectors, transmitting high-definition 1080p True Cinema picture resolution with whole-home range.

Sounds great so far, but wait its wireless… Is that really going to work with all of the different wireless devices sending out signals all around us? Turns out it will. The FlyWire is operating in the open 5GHz band, and boasts that it intelligently manages its own connection, adjusting both frequency and power to avoid interferences.
