Barely worth it

 

The IR Remote Control Extender is marginal at best. Don't try to operate it in UV (sunlight) conditions. I wanted a remote to operate from outside my house. Wouldn't even work through a window with the unit 10' away. I dumbed down by opening a door to...

Signal was not good for more than 20'

 

I could get this to work but only for 20 foot radius. The radio signal was too weak for the receiver.

Perfect once repaired/modified!

 

This system was a one star product before I opened it up and put a few repairs and tweeks into it. Prior to my repairs, it worked intermittently and was not reliable. Laziness prevented me from returning it as I was past the return period, so I decided...

Save your money they don't work.

Disappointing product

 

Price was acceptable. Device works when it wants to. I have eliminated all other possible sources of interference. Remotes for all my devices need to be positioned about 3 feet in front of the transmitter to even have a chance of working.

Price easy to setup

Worked fine - for ONE day

Almost works.....

 

After doing several things --- finding the right placement for the transmitter (this is key). I also had to place the reciever very close to my tivo box and place a cd case to reflect the ir signal or tilt the reciever up from the back. I still have to...

Chaotic

 

It works okay most of the time, but the distance is not great. More troubling though, is that once or twice a week it goes crazy! Channels continually switch regardless of my attempts to stop them. It is not my remote since the second I disconnect the...

Works sometimes
