    • Great little IR repeater.
    • I did research and some of the Dish receivers are sensitive to which IR repeaters they will work with.
    • Does exactly what it says - a great IR repeater.
    • This repeater just works like you think it should
    • Pretty good IR repeater
    • This repeater works perfectly to relay IR commands to devices hidden away behind doors, etc.
    • Much to my surprise, this repeater worked on my Uverse IPN4320 Cisco receiver before I even had it hooked up properly
    • The repeater worked well for all of my components except the Dish 211K and 211Z set top boxes.
    • Great repeater kit
    • The repeater itself works great
    • No visible wires only the small repeater eye which flawlessly works with my ATT U-verse box, LG TV, CD player and Denon AVR amp
    • As stated, works incredible with tivo premiere and a philips dvd player..we moved everything into a closet behind the tv that was wall mounted....and this repeater makes the remote so much stronger than it was before the move...i can point the tivo remote backwards and it works...and my crappy dvd remote now works like it should (used to be i
    • I would go with this product nothing would be more frustrating than having a cheap IR repeater with intermittent issues when you are watching TV!!!!
    • Great IR Repeater
    • Just remember people that a repeater will like any repeater mess up if you get too many devices going on it (minimal error checking).

    • Works better then the more expensive repeaters I bought.
    • this is a great repeater, works well, easy to connect

    • Hooked up repeater last week and does not work
    • I once had a store brand IR repeater that worked fine, but I lost the receiver, so I had to replace it.
    • If you're looking for a solid IR repeater, look no further
    • This IR Repeater works as advertised.
    • I have used other repeaters in the past that work much better.
    • I would not take the risk on this one, pick a more expensive repeater.
    • Not the repeaters problem.
    • I've waste enough time with this piece of crap to realize that it shouldn't be on Amazon, and... to date... the best repeaters, hands down, are from Xantech
    • I would like the IR Repeater to have the receiver on the TV and then send the signal down to my equipment.
    • Went and bought a cheap plastic repeater from Radio Shack and it worked perfectly from 20 feet away but the Direct TV range went down to 5 feet
    • This Repeater works flawlessly and was easy to set up.
    • I tried another popular repeater but it did not work well
    • Definitely recommend this repeater to others.
    • I did test the repeaters as well, and while they work great, I prefer lining it in directly
    • Remote repeater was a success
    • Works great as a IR repeater.
    • This is the best repeater I’ve used
    • The repeater itself was easy to set up, and the emitter wires are long enough (about 6ft) to be affixed to my electronics while affixing the receiver wire is also long enough to allow me to affix it just beneath the TV
    • This solved my problem and I actually added several other of my electronic items to work off the same repeater
    • The repeater works amazingly well
    • I assume it would work with any of their models since I found mine to be especially picky but it loves this repeater.
    • The product works well when the devices cannot be seen, which is my only gripe, because sometimes we leave the door open to vent the heat and the repeater and
    • This is a high quality repeater system that just works.
    • The repeater has been great and works well with the 650.The one downside was that I couldn't use the existing mini-stereo plug cables from the Logitech IR kit, I had to re-wire all the IR extenders with the ones from BAFX
    • It works so much better than an IR repeater that I bought at BestBuy
    • I did have one issue with my Xbox 360 but it's because the repeater is too powerful
    • I have used several other repeaters in the past with a mixed bag of results, but this one worked perfect for me.
    • After that the repeater worked perfectly.
    • This is better than the first IR repeater that I got (really cheap one) but it's still very inconsistent
    • I liked the repeater so much that I am buying 2 more for other TV's.
    • The repeater allowed me to clean up all the running cables and route everything through a pass through port installed just above the TV mount
    • Anyway it seems to work as it was
    • Now everything works as it should and my gadgets are hidden neatly in a cabinet
    • The IR receiver is hardly noticeable at all mounted on the bottom of the TV and all the devices work as if there was nothing unusual...plus everything is completely hidden for a really clean look
    • ; (4) take one of the repeater's emitting cables and plug it into the back of the distribution block; (5) separate the emitter cable down the middle from the emitter head end for some convenient distance to give you whatever free length you need to work with (each cable has two emitters, the other one can go to any other A/V component), and run one emitter to your A/V component (in my case, through the hole in the back of the console); (6) place the emitter head (with the peel-away covering over its adhesive surface STILL IN PLACE) in contact with the front of the A/V unit in the area where you have already approximately located the component's IR sensor; (7) position the front of the remote control for the A/V component close to the IR receiver sensor (the remote must also be out of the line of sight to the A/V component); (8) move the emitter head over the front of the component while using the A/V's remote to turn the A/V component on and off (pointed close to the repeater's sensor, as noted above); (9) once you have pinpointed the A/V component's IR sensor by this method, decide where you want the emitter cable to lead away from the component (such as beneath the component, across its top, or off to its nearest side), peel away the protective tape from the adhesive on the emitter head, and firmly press the emitter head in place over the component's IR sensor so that the emitter cable leads away in the desired direction.
    • Was concern about possible lag when using the remote, but no lag at all, works as though the unit is right in front of you.
    • As a result, I bought a second unit which worked just as he said it would
    • The PS3 and Onkyo work and are as responsive as when I had them configured in the living room without using the repeater
    • The receivers have a built-in LED to indicate they are powered as well as when they are relaying IR signals.
