Still a very good system, even with HDTV.......2007-09-19
I installed this system in my house 4 years ago, thinking it would eventfully become obsolete with the conversion from standard definition to high definition, wide screen TV. However, I have recently added high definition TVs to the system, and I am very happy with the results. This is because most cable boxes will also convert the high definition signal to an analog output in an anamorphic format, which is the preferred quality for movies on DVDs. So, although the TV signal is then transmitted by the Channel Plus 3025 system in a standard definition format, it is compressed horizontally, but maintains 480 lines of vertical resolution. The signal can then be stretched back into a wide screen format by the high definition TV, maintaining much of the original resolution.... enough so that at distances from the TV greater than about 4 times the diagonal dimensions of the wide screen, it is difficult to tell the difference between the Channel Plus signal and a true high definition signal.
Channel Plus also sells components that can be added to this system that greatly increase both quality of the sound and convenience to the user. Channel Plus model 5601 will add MTS stereo sound to the 3025, and CHANNEL PLUS 2133 I/R Remote Target will add remote control capability to up to 5 additional TVs; both components work very well, and I highly recommend them. And as others have noted, adding the appropriate filter to remove any noise or unwanted channels where you want to place your added channels can be very important, and can make all the difference in the quality of the video. I have a detailed 4-year old review of how I set this system up at epinions.com.
An alternative, if you only want to generate one new channel, or are only interested in transmitting that channel to one or two TVs is CE Labs 1001St Stereo Agile Rf Modulator. Both the Channel Plus and CE Labs modulators work very well.
Very Durable / Long Lasting / Easy 1 time setup.......2007-07-28
This product is great for sending all your video all over the house. Make your home fully multimedia. This Channel Plus is so much better than the Channel Master series!!! I use it to send DVD from the front DVD Changer to rooms in the house. Very happy with this unit...been running flawless for over 2 years now...buy one.
Channel Plus 3025.......2007-06-27
Works as described. I had no problem setting it up and putting it to work. I am now able to cut down to one Direct TV Reciever for the whole house. Make sure you get a low band pass filter if you are running CATV through it, the two channels look horrible with out one.
the filter is necessary.......2007-02-22
This thing is very cool. I have video cameras on both daughters and have injected each on a different channel on the cable. It really does need the filter to work up to par. I bought the channelplus lpf-600 that only passes channels 2-86. Their support is good. I do not know how long the warranty is, but mine stopped working reliably after more than a year. It only took a few minutes on the phone to set up the return, and I had my new unit a few days after they received the damaged unit. I ruined my power supply for it and they sent me another one for free. By the way, a trick for others who want a video monitor on their kids that works at night. I use cheap black and white cameras that have very week infrared lights built in. Those infrareds do not illuminate anything. After some thought I decided to put a desk lamp on their dressers and use black lightbulbs in them. It is a perfect night light, giving a dim soft purple light. That sucker puts off tons of infrared, completely illuminating the room for the camera to work at night.
Filters..................2006-10-08
I thought my 3025 failed after 2 years of everyday use. It was working great then all of a sudden I got lots of snow on the two input channels.
I read the reviews here and before buying the low pass filter, I tried channel 122 and 124...Whew!
Works fine again. The cable system must have added a signal and it almost blew me a way.

Fantastic portable printer- great printouts!.......2007-10-12
We original bought a lower model of the selphy for our daughter. When I saw the prints from hers, I had to get one for myself. This printer is simple to use (comes with nice little editing program), very portable and prints great prints.
I've seen reviews saying it jams alot and complaints about the availabilty of the paper. I have printed over a hundered prints with mine and never had a jam. Paper is available in 4x6, a credit card size (great for wallet photos) and even little stickers (fun for kids). I have seen the paper on retail shelves in office stores such as staples, but have found the prices online to be cheaper (about .23/print on amazon).
The ribbon technology in this printer is what sold it for me. I have printed prints off several brands of inkjet printers and have always had problems getting the print tones correct from one to another. I end up wasting pages of photo paper and tons of ink trying to get it right. With the ribbon technology in this printer, I get perfect prints in seconds with a clear coat over them that keeps them from running or smudging. Never a bad print. With the ribbon technology, you always know how many prints you will get - don't need to guess if you have enough red or yellow ink left to print another print.
My only regret is that Canon doesn't have a printer that prints larger prints with this same technology.
avoid this printer.......2007-07-18
Thought a made a good choice with my first sublime printer. First couple of prints were pretty good. Then printed an indoor photo which came out too dark. Couldn't find the ICC profile to try and correct for differences in displays so I contacted tech service. They said send it in for repairs. No parts for this printer so they sent me a replacement. Replacement printed a few pictures, which were even darker than the original printer, and then jammed. Waiting for a return label (3 days now) so that I can send it in. While I was on the phone with tech support found out that sublime printers don't have ICC profiles only ink jet printers.
paper jams.......2007-06-29
Ok, this was my fault for not being careful, but still... When I tried to print an additional photo on the blank half of a used photopaper, the ink cartridge and paper jammed. The only way to take it out was to break the ink cartridge film. (The film was stuck onto the paper) Thus, the entire cartridge was wasted just because of one jam. It's just not worth it.
Prints have green tint to them.......2007-06-15
The quality of prints from this printer is disappointing. I did a comparison of prints from this printer and a four year old HP inkjet printer. The inkjet printer had truer skin tones and brighter colors. The Canon printer produced prints with a green cast. Skin tones did not look natural.
Worthy to note that this printer does not include a printer cable to connect to a computer.
As noted by other reviewers you only can print five prints out of the box. I had a difficult time finding stores that carry the paper/ink for this model.
The printer has a number of useful features but it all comes down to the print quality which doesn't compare to other printers on the market.
Keep looking, there are better alternatives.
I was wrong!!!.......2007-03-26
Initially my review of this product was not a very good one, but after using the product for over a year now, I understand how it can be a good product for photographers who are on the go.
It has 4 swift passes then a picture (Not the best quality that there is, but still great) comes out and everyone is happy. The features I really like about this printer are the retractable USB cable and the ease of popping in one ink cartridge that gives as many pictures as it promises.
Also, the on screen photo selection is awesome. You can select multiple pictures at the same time and even tell how many of each you want. For instance, you want one copy of photo 2 and 10, but you want three of photo 15. It'll do it with ease. you don't have to be a rocket scientist to use it either.
It's also good if you edit a picture on your computer and send it back to the SD card. It prints the new photoshoped picture and all.
I do a lot with photoshop and this feature alone makes it worth buying. Once you get all your images onto the card tell it to print what you want and its a go.
Definitely a good buy...for the price.
