No, no, they use the 2.4GHz bandwidth but it's not 'digital'. It's some 
sort of video signal. There's a separate receiver that de/re-modulates and 
outputs a YUV composite video signal for direct input into a TV, tuner 
card, VCR, etc.

It's very similar to this item. In fact, it's pretty much identical. I see 
it's come down in price since I bought mine. Still, $130 trumps $298...
