We have used a similar device (US$50, other sources, Haverhills ads were
for about $70.  They can be tuned for any UHF channel from about 14 up)
for some time for video only.  Interference can be a problem, but is more
due to position of the robot, people, receiver, etc. than due to electronic
interference.  All the same problems that you have with the "rabbit ears" 
antenna on a home TV -- i.e. it usually works.
