    I bought this for my new television to hook up to the DVD players underneath. But they were way too complicated and were not needed so I took them back and just got regular cables.

    It works, but why are there multiple bulky splice points? In the end, it's a mess and no real way to keep it tidy by your equipment. Make one splice point with multiple length blasters.

    Does not work

    After multiple try and set ups. The product has difficulty transmitting the impulse from the IR receiver to the destined appliances. Sometimes you have to sit directly in front of the receiver and send the information via your remote control several times or continuous. Will not work if the control is NOT directly pointed at the receiver. REMEMBER: Not refundable after 30 days

      Hi.

      We are sorry that this specific issue happened on your receiver. It could be that it was your particular unit the one not working. My suggestion is that if you find yourself on this situation again in the future is to bring it to the attention of the store on the next 15 days after purchase.

    The device works but the sensors wouldn't stick to my TV - they keep falling off. I eventually used a piece of black tape to hold it in place. Disappointing...

    I purchased a Open Box Excellent. Everything was in the box but I could not get the Remote Extender to work consistently. I'm not sure if one of the LEDs is bad but I don't have time to debug it. I've had two other brands of Remote Extender in the past which still work so I will just re-order one of them. This seemed like a good inexpensive option but it isn't worth the effort.

    Disappointed

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It only worked for me when I was standing right in front of it, if you were off to an angle it wouldn't. Tough when you have a sectional and can only control the tv when sitting in one spot. The sticky things on the ends of the sensors that are supposed to help keep them in front of each component's sensor are horrible too. They literally just fall off. I may have bought a bad one, but based on my experience I can't recommend this product.

      Hi Wanda.

      We appreciate your score and opinion on this specific product. It works wonders when it comes to cable management. Some remotes of certain devices might have difficulties working with it.
