If I attach the transmitter to my cable TV Box will I need a separate ir extender for the remote control?

Yes you will need a seperate extender. With the exception if your TV BOX Remote runs over radio instead of IR-Signals. Then the distance shouldnt be a problem. IR is only good for a couple of meters.

Hi. This device simply transmits the video signal from whatever source you have(eg receiver, cable box, etc.) to your monitor/tv/projector. It does not transmit remote control signals.

This thing is basically the same as a really long virtual HDMI cord. It has nothing to do with remote control at all. It's for hdmi based video and audio transmission.

This device is for serial data (via IR) to be sent or received between two computerized pieces of equipment. I feel strongly this is not the correct device to remotely control a cable box. If you are doing data transfers to a cable box ~ perhaps. Yet I've never seen a scenario in which a Cable Box sent or received computer data to something like, say, a PC. That said, what you are really looking for is either an IR Blaster, or other universal IR Remote. Perhaps a search on Amazon with the terms: pc IR remote will return a device that is more suitable. I think you are wise that you asked before buying.

TiVo sells a IR receiver you can attach to this so you can hide the box behind a tv. I would actually suggest getting an upgraded mini kit from weakness that comes with a rf dongle and rf remote. This way you can truly hide everything behind the tv.

Yes, the remote extender doesn't connect to the TV itself. Just to the hidden components, then place the IR sensor next to or under the TV so it can catch the IR signals from your remote.

This should work on any device that has remote control. All you need to do is attach the receiving end to a visable spot, like just below your TV screen. On the other end are 2 transmitters one that you place right over the IR sensor on the cable box. You can use the 2nd one for a DVR or anything that, again, works with a remote. You can also buy IR repeaters that can control 4 or 6 devices if needed.Very easy to install. You just need to run that wire from a visable place to the front of the cable box.

No reason these IR emitter extenders can't actually do what they are called: extend IR emission! I want to simply plug this into a component and be able to control it via the IR remote with a direct line-of-sight to the IR emitter extender end. Why must the signal first be converted to RF? That is stupid and competely unnecessary when the IR emitter extender can simple transmit the IR signal back to the component it's plugged into. Duh!

This product will do what you want. You will attach one of the transmitters (the red-tipped things) to the cable box in front of the infrared receiver in the box. You will place the receiver anywhere that you have line of sight to the receiver, possible at the bottom of your TV.

Yes, but you won't be able to us the IR remote, you'll have to use the RF remote. Also, the control box is attached to the power cord so you'll have to install an AC outlet behind the drywall to plug it in.

This extender is a way to transmit a video signal via ethernet cables. So if the source, cable box, satellite box, blu ray etc...., has a HDMI connection it should work. You would connect from the source and go out to another tv somewhere. I hope that makes sense.

You can either purchase the standard IR senor on Amazon, they are plenty of it. or contact seller to see whether they have extra. http://www.amazon.com/Infrared-Receiver-Extender-Description-Compatibility/dp/B002JSDHCY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1361510377&sr=8-2&keywords=IR+sensor

No, the remote is bluetooth and communicates with the hub, which then sends the IR info.

you have to make sure the remote will still work if you connect it to back of tv if it does i whould hook it up there ps i forgot that it came with a extension cable for ir so i whould mount it anywhere you want to

Reviewed unit reccomended - show IR (infa Red Remote) pin connector - this means you attach an IR Receiver and your remote should control device.

It is highly unlikely you'll get this to work with Tivo is my take after spending a lot of time with these things last year. If there is an IR extender input on the back perhaps, but my cable box had such and input and this still didn't work. What I did find that worked great, not with Tivo but I have to believe it would is the following item. Don't know if this meets your needs but it worked for me. --Sewell BlastIR SW-29311 Infrared (IR) Remote Control Receiver Kit (Black). Good luck, HR

Here is your solution. It converts IR to radio frequency (RF). Works like a charm for us! Next Generation Remote Control Extender

It should work, I have my transmitters linked to the video remote windows and am able to use the IR remote in separate rooms.

Absolutely. My cable box is in the wall behind my TV and this thing works fantastically for repeating the signal. That is of course if you cable box remote is sending it's signal over IR and not RF.
