    The concept of the product is great but the signal is not consistent and you have to be practically right in front of the device for the remote to work. I want to return it.

    I have too many devices running in a hard to reach area. This box reaches all of the devices, and my remotes reach the sensor from my couch. The cheaper version I tried before this one from the store did not reach my remotes because of short range. This box is awesome.

    We had this range extension on hand in case we needed it. This item was not necessary and we did not even remove them from the packaging. Based on all the other items we purchased, and are now using, I believe this range extension packet would also be a quality product.

    Wires are not long enough to connect equipment that was only on two shelves. Will try to modify to make it work. Would not recommend it yet.

    We wanted an affordable means of turning our Denon receiver on and off without having to walk into the room where it is kept. The Recoton extender filled the bill perfectly, was easy to set up, and has saved many steps for us.

    This is working just like we wanted. We have all our boxes in another room so the living room with JUST the TV is awesome. Sure is a great conversation piece too...as everyone wants to know how we have cable and no box or wires.

    Product works okay. You have to have your remote exactly aimed at the right spot inorder to change channels. See sometimes very frustrating.

    I needed a IR Blaster for my entertainment center, and decided to try this out, I did not expect it to be so easy to install or use. I would recommend this product for anyone who wants to hide devices, and poor remote reception.

    Before I found this, I was going to have to run cable to my ceiling projector, using time I really did not have. This solution provided closure to a problem I've had for years, and I can finally remove it from my bucket list!

    Most of the time these work well. Sometimes (2 or 3 out of 10 times) it will either get stuck and cause channels to skip around or will not work.

    Item did nothing. I tried it on stereo, blue ray player, and DirectTV box. No joy on any of them. Piece of junk. Don't waste your money.

    This does exactly what it describes-controls devices in other rooms. I use it with a Harmony Home Hub. The hardest part was finding an outlet to plug it into.

    This was my answer to our problem with our standard DIRECTV box. Our box didn't have RF remote, like our old box had. Great Product!!!!!

    It is most difficult to get a line of site so I can raise and lower the volume from the outside to the basement receiver, as I was ensured by the sales person. I'm not a techie, but I asked for help from a neighbor who is electrically intelligent, and no luck either. At this point, I'm out of the purchase price, and the device is of virtually no use. Sorry!
