Has anyone added an IR repeater that works with this model?

Hello,I used a Universal Powerblaster IR repeater with a previous model of SONY Receiver-Amplifier with great results. I did not use the IR repeater with the STRDH830, but I see no reason why it would be different.Here is the link to the Powerblasterhttp://www.universalremote.com/products/retail/base-stations/urc-mrf100-powerblaster

No. I tried this and did not work, which makes sense because it uses IR sensor/signals. Sorry for the delay in responding.

Yes, I have a Comcast box and it works fine. What's a little tricky though is you have to find the little IR reciever window on the front of the Comcast box. Take a flashlight and shine it parallel to the face and it should become visible. In other words, don't shine it straight AT the face, but along it. Once you find that, hole the IR repeater's little transmitter piece over it and make sure it works. Then peel off the adhesive and stick it there.

they have a blue tooth to IR converter. I've read about it but I can't find it.

no , search Amazon for this ( IR Repeater System - Hidden IR Control System for Home Theater ) that will do what you want.

It works with any IR device, just need to place the receiver in front of your device and transmitter on the location were you operate the remote.

There is no IR receiver that I know of or see. Remote capability is via Z-wave communication.

Yes! Hooked it up to the spare satellite box I had in mechanical room in my garage. We did put the sensors outside the door to the mechanical room so only garage door was between the sensors and the garage across the street (about 250'+ away). We had IR before but it went out and couldn't get replacements to work. They kept malfunctioning/burning out. This has been working for 6+ months now and actually has better response when changing channels than other system we had. We channeled cable from main house underground to the remote garage along with transmitter but the transmitter went down. Box is in main house. Happy to finally have a solution!

I have never plugged it directly into the box directly, but I have used it with a repeater/ir distribution and it worked excellent

Greetings, Good question. No, this unit does not have an Infrared Receiver or Transmitter built in. One can be added via USB. Best regards, MITXPC

Unfortunately, we do not have this device in our database. We'd recommend you to learn the commands from the remote(as long as it is an IR based remote) that comes along with the device and be sure to control with Harmony.

No, there isn't a specific Infrared extender input. It does have a USB 2.0 and there are aftermarket USB/infrared adapters. I can't answer if an adapter of that nature would do what you are looking for.

This device repeats any IR signal through wires to emitters attached over a target device's IR signal receiver. So, you require the remote control device that controls the target device. The limiting factor in the case you describe above is the distance between the IR Repeater System's IR receiver and the target device's IR receiver. These two points are connected, if you will, by wire - Wire from the IR receiver to the IR Repeater System and wire from the IR Repeater System to the IR emitter attached to the target device's IR receiver. Your challenge becomes running the appropriate wires between rooms.

Yes if used with this http://www.amazon.com/IR-Repeater-System-Control-Theater/dp/B0016PM63W/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1381319564&sr=8-4&keywords=ir+repeater

It does not work with my Dish Network receiver, and it is IR controlled. I do not know why, but some cable and satellite receivers seem to have problems using IR repeaters.

It does come with the IR adapter, though I never got far enough to see if it actually worked.

No, not that I am aware of. And with the lack of CEC-HDMI capability, it is doubtful. The current IR blaster support for receivers is very basic.
