There's a limited amount of space in the 2.4GHz range. One of my
coworkers has a wireless A/V device, similar to the one you listed,
that uses something like 4 of the 11 possible bands (don't quote me).
It has Issues(tm) and goes hopping if the microwave comes on, and
half the time if the cordless phone is in use. And he doesn't even
have a wireless network in the mix.

Basically, anything that doesn't need to be going through the air,
get it out of the air. Wireless LAN, kinda stuck. Cordless phone,
look at a good 900MHz model (so retro!). TV: see about cabling
through the wall, if distance isn't too much of an issue. Without
knowing a floorplan, I dunno how feasible that is for you.

But, yeah, I'd say "expect interference."
