Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Genius Remote Extender for its easy setup process. Setting up the device is a breeze, as mentioned by many users. The remote control feature is also well-received, allowing users to control multiple devices with a single remote. However, some customers have concerns about the battery life, as the batteries tend to drain quickly. Additionally, there have been reports of compatibility issues, particularly with Sony surround sound systems.

    Overall an excellent product. Allowed us to put the cable box out of sight behind a large piece of furniture. Can operate from anywhere on the same floor. Very easy to set up.

    Has a little trouble getting it to work at first. But once it was up and running I can control my cable box 2 floors down in the basement. It worries me a little that Best buy seems to be discontinuing carrying this product.

    We purchased this item to be able to hide our tv components in a large armoire in our family room. We can now turn the tv on and off without having to open the armoire. So nice!

    Our cable box is concealed behind glass doors and the cable remote would not function through the glass. This transmitter is excellent. Sets up quickly and easily.

    I wonder who came up with the idea. Very useful, it allows us to control from the ground floor a device on the first floor of the house.
