Are there any wireless bike computers that can work reliably with the presence of a dynamo hub? 

Some say analog transmission and others say digital?  Does this matter? 

Or is a wired computer the only sure solution?

Looking for some real work experience to give me real world information (as opposed to advertising hype). 

Thanks in advance

I use a Knog NERD with my dynamo hub and it works just fine. Good luck!

Move the wireless transmitter to the other side of the fork (non drive side)...works fine on several bicycles (Schmidt/Shimano hubs...Specialized wireless).

I have used 2 different Cateye wireless computers with Schmidt hubs &
lights, no problem. The models were Strada and Micro.

I did have interference from an older B+M battery light that I had on
the handlebars for additional visibility.

I agree with Jeff that the B&M battery light (an excellent light by the way) creates interference with a wireless computer. If you are going to use a good battery lamp as a backup to your dynamo, the safest bet is a wired computer.
