Consumer review (newegg.com)

Works Great

 

This is a cheap alternative to a lot of expensive other options. I am very satisfied with this product.

After reading mixed reviews, I was hesitant to buy this. It does perform well though. I use it to control my Tivo from another room. Pretty much just plug and play. No setup or anything. The sending unit pointed at my tivo works great at 10 feet away....

If you haven't used it for a while, unplug it- then plug it back in before using. Not sure if it has a sleep mode or anything, but that did the trick.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

works great

 

Bought this on a recommendation from a co-worker. Works great. I do think that some other reviewers did not set this up properly. The IR sensors are on the side not the grey front.

Works great from the other side of the house.

No problems what-so-ever.

1st one didn't work

 

Would offer extreme convenience for a low price.

1st transmitter didn't work, sent back to newegg for replacement. The manufacturer wouldn't replace without jumping through hoops. Will write another review after replacement arrives.

Leapfrog

 

IR range and width seems limited but functions ok. will work for the average user as long as your not at an extreem distance 100' feet or less between boxes and 10-20 ft. betweeen you and the reciever.

Cheep but it works. Comes with an optional IR extender cable to control up to 3 different, Dvd Satalite boxes,ect.

Aluminum telescopic antenna instead of rubber or plastic stub antena.

Consumer review (shopping.com)

Neat system BUT doesn't work with Scientific Atlantic Cable boxes

 

This remote extender is an easy to use cheap answer to those $$$ price remotes. BUT Scientific Atlantic Cable boxs operate at a different frequency so this did not work for me. (Worked great with our DVD player).

Easy to set up and use

Doesn't work with Scientific Atlantic HD Cable box
