    Don't waste your money. Works ok from about 4 feet, anything over that is questionable. Junk.

    Worked off and on at first. After 6 months, it’s useless. Tried changing batteries in remote, even tried new remote, checked connections on extender, etc. It simply does not work in the long run. Unfortunately, it’s too late to return for refund.

    We purchased this to be used with our new wall-mounted tv. It basically does not work. The installer said it might not work, but he suggested we try it before buying a Harmony remote for $250. Wish we would have gone straight to the remote instead of buying this in an attempt to save money.

      Thank you for taking the time to review this remote extender, I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out for your set, I would like to remind you about the 15 days of return period that Best Buy offers, you would only need to take it back with your receipt!

    I asked sales rep for a Cordless device to connect cable box to tv. This is what he gave me. I had to wait to hook up my tv and now that I did this is totally not it. It just for the remote. To late to return it. I am beyond mad!

    I hooked up the extender kit and when I was ready to use it. It only works when remote is less than 20 inches from the eye. It works but when you have to come right up to IR eye was not what I expected.

    We loved the idea of not having to open the cabinet door to operate our receiver, unfortunately it flat out doesn't work. So, I guess open cabinet doors are the norm around here. Don't waste your money.

    The Best Buy employee said this device would read remote signal thru a wood cabinet door . It does not work. I felt employee was not knowledgeable about the product and the product itself is not satisfactory.

    IR receiver is weak

    The IR receiver only recognizes the remote's signal if you are directly in front of it. That makes changing the channel difficult from other locations in the room.
