I recently had a center wall built in our family room
in this new 'center wall' we have a fireplace
with a 75 inch TV and the electronic system
--------------------
the electronic system
is housed on the side wall
out of view
the problem was
the remotes no longer worked
you need to stand up
aim at the side wall - and point
this solved the problem
at first
I thought it was too good to be true
but - it really works!
we are now purchasing a second set
as a back-up!

This remote extender is old school in design... so it's not for everyone. But, if you are looking for an easy plug and use extender for basic electronics, this is a great choice. It fit the bill perfectly for our intended use... easily turning on multiple components of our surround sound and TV at the same time. Good purchase. Thanks!

This remote extender kit allowed me to put all of the components (DVD player, cable box, etc.) in a cabinet below the TV and close the door but still be able to control the devices. It works well and it's easy to install. The only thing I don't like about it is that you have to be straight in front (or close enough) in order for it to work.

Great repeater--successfully repeats a very non-standard IR signal. However, I only needed a repeater for one device; for me, this item would've been better had the repeaters for other devices been optional. It'd also have looked better, as my application is very visible.

IR Extender has been working very well.

This IR Extender has been working fine now for several months. The only thing I would like changed is to add a connector on the cable so that it can be extended with an audio or other type of cable. Other IR extenders I have purchased in the past had this feature. Other than that it works well and I am very happy with it.

Cable management is an issue with the sensors wired in series. The double-sided tape is worthless. It does not stick to the sensors.

The item was easy to install and it works. My only concern is that the distance the remote works is not as long as I would like. The range appears to be about 30' and I wish it was longer.

Was looking for a way to not have to leave cabinet door open to use TV remote to cable box Read reviews and decided this product would do what I want. Would give a five but the adhesive provide to attach sensor to cable box either came off or wouldn't stick. Had to use masking tape to put the sensor in place.

This is a great little item, that solved my issue of being able to reach all of the items that I need to control. The inclusion of spare adhesive pads, means that this will last once you change out components of your system, and have to peel the emitters off. There is a subtle blue LED that flickers as it receives IR signal.

Works pretty well. I needed it because my sound bar is blocking the sensor on my tv. It was very easy to setup. My only issue is that I still have to aim it at the tv sensor to power it on, but once on, it's good to go.

This was purchased to help an elderly person who was having trouble with “line of sight” infra-red on 3 components. All on, all off, was an issue and frustrating. This item was a suggestion from sales clerk (I didn’t know this existed) and once installed (easy install with no programming required) you just point remote to one item and everything comes on at once. No waiting The only problem is the sticky tape doesn’t stay where put... I needed to use regular tape. But this works like a charm!

Needed an IR replacement system for allowing remote control to work behind cabinet doors. Easy to install and works great for a great price.
