If you "occasionally would like to watch shows from the bedroom," then I think a video sender is fine. I used one in my place all through college to send video from my computer in the bedroom to the TV in the living room. I will also describe this as "watchable." But it's not great.

For starters, the colors were pretty bad on mine all of the time, and the clarity wasn't great. Also, whenever someone used the microwave, which was bout 30 feet from either the sender or receiver, I'd get a lot of static.

In the future, I'll likely only use mine for audio sending, which it does pretty well.

Oh, and I have the X10 video sender.
