Never open the TV cabinets again(unless you want)
This product is really simple to use. You plug the USB into your selected devices inside your TV console, run the cord out through the back and place the device on top or wherever you’d like that you feel you would least notice, and then you run the power cord to your power supply. I keep my power surge protector inside the large vented cabinet in the center to allow for air circulation. Then, you simply point and click. It is a wonderfully inexpensive alternative to a remote that can point through walls, but it is rather limited in the angle from which you can click and still see results. I have mine sitting on my sound bar in front of my 65” OLED TV. Can you find it in the photograph?

It Works
This product works great except for the little stickies. Those darn things fall off almost immediately and it's funny because they provide you with extra ones. Extra stickies that do absolutely nothing except make things a little frustrating. I was trying to test everything and I kept wondering why it worked one minute and not the next. I had to use scotch tape to keep it attached. No big deal since everything is hidden. Looks sloppy with the cabinet open. The main sensor sits on top of my cabinet and it is hardly noticable. I'm glad I bought it and thank goodness for tape.

This extender is a gem
I tried so many remotes and extenders to stretch the bad remote that came with my stereo the 10 feet between my amp and my desk. The first sales person I talked with at Best Buy didn't have a clue and told me they made no remote that would do the job..But I had a feeling he didn't know what he was talking about. He was in the TV department. Then, I tried another guy who knew exactly what I needed and this was it! A big hint though: the instructions tell you to use one of the cords to link to your amp. NO NO. That didn't work...but I used three and it works perfectly. And I didn't attach the cords to the amp, as suggested, but instead pointed all three at the volume control and its infra red eye...Works great. The photos..not particularly beautiful, show the set up...receiver on speaker, connected to wires at the amp. Not pretty..but I can access the stereo from across the room. The remote it came with sux.

Great for hiding cable box
Does what it was meant to do. I was able to put my spectrum TV box in a drawer and not worry about it. Photo is of remote eye that is displayed

Just What We Needed
The Xfinity X1 box has the IR sensor recessed in a small crease along the bottom of the box. This really limits the reception of an IR signal. The two pictures show the tiny receiver sitting on top of our system's cabinet and the repeater by the tiny sensor on the X1 box. This just simply works. Now we can use the remote anywhere in the room. Directionality is good. 100% pleased.
