If the transmitter is in the family room, the receiver is upstairs, do I need to turn on the TV in the family room to see movies upstairs ?

If the HDMI (audio and video) are passing through the receiver, then you will not be able to watch unless the unit is on.

No, this device only allows you to change the channel from another room. It does not transmit video or audio. One pyramid relays the IR signal from the remote to the other pyramid which can be located in another room (or inside your stereo cabinet) and used to control other equipment (I.e. 1 cable remote, 2 set top boxes. OR 1 DirecTV box controlling several TVs in different rooms. You don't want to go to the living room in order to change the channel on the TV in the bedroom)

the receiver will have to be turned on to get TV sound. My problem is with Blu Ray soundtrack passes thru but no voices.

No - you don't have to. The manual tells you how to set it from the remote.

I haven't been in that situation but I know it doesn't pick up the TV in another room in our house. The transmitter is attached to the TV so I think it sends out just from that TV.

No. I always leave mine on. It has enough HDMI inputs to plug in everything and I always use the receiver sound and disabled the TV sound. You can use the opticle out from your TV to input sound for your cable TV/Wii. I assigned opticle to AV1 on the remote.

Yes they can. I have my transmitter upstairs and my receiver downstairs in my kitchen. Though a lot depends on the distance between the two units. Face the antennas towrds the "general" direction of each other if you get weak signals.

Dear Tim:On my TV, I have to watch with the receiver on all the time - thus, through the surround system. I am not sure if getting an additional HDMI cable will allow you to watch TV normally without the receiver on. But the way I have mine set up I have to have the receiver on to watch TV.

No. I have a single HDMI cable connected from the projector to my receiver.

Yes, the receiver has a remote control that can control your tv, your cable, etc.

Yes, we have our receiver in one room and the signal goes to another room without any problem.

It requires an open HDMI port on the TV and on whatever device you wish to send the signal from. I'm not sure about the line of sight, since I'm just sending to the other side of my living room. I will say though, it is a great little device.

Yes. Even when the receiver is off, it will pass a 3D signal through to the TV.

That's correct. The system works great but it will require a cable connecting the receiver and transmitter.
