I haven't had much luck with these new units. They don't seem to have the power that the older X-10 unit had, maybe a different frequency as well. My son tried the new units in his house without any luck. I loaned him my older X-10's(early 2000 vintage from the X-10 company) and they worked fine. Richard

You need to have a coaxcial cable that goes from your box to the 2 tv's and place the 2 powermids ,1 infrontYour box and 1 in your bedroom. You just have to bring with you your remote control and face the powermid in the bedroom to change your Channel.

Yeah they change the channel. Do different things depending on application too

that would depend on the device you are using, some converter boxes allow you to go directly to the channel, some you must auto-scan for the channels, if you are using a converter box which will allow you to go to the channel directly, then yes

Mine was "bent" when it arrived. It wouldn't work. If you have Direct TV you can have a second unit with no cost if you promise not to use both at the same time. No problem for me as we are either in one place or the other. You just have to move one of your units to the second location. With Direct you will need their "special" hook-up.It will not work otherwise.

Yes, you can, if the tv is digital, but you don't get to much channels; at least I didn't get enough channels. With the converter box I got much more channels. Maybe the area that you live has better recession that my area.

This would be attached to another device (like a Tivo recorder), which would in turn be controlling your DirecTV receiver. You would use a remote for the Tivo, which would then control the DirecTV receiver (to change the channels). As long as the Tivo is able to receive commands from the remote, the Tivo would pass the signal through this cable to the IR sensor on your DirecTV box. The Tivo would have to be visible, but the DirecTV box would not. This would NOT, however, allow you to just hide your cable box and keep using it. For that you need to find an RF-based remote. Pretty sure DirecTV will be happy to sell/lease you RF-based remotes and receivers for a bit more money, then you won't have line-of-sight issues and can control the device through walls or with a closed media center door in the way. You may be able to find some kind of converter that receives RF signals from an RF remote and converts them to IR signals through a cable like this, but that's really starting to jury-rig your entertainment system.

Yes!!!!! They charge the regular receiver rate. Plan on calling them when you hook it up too. Otherwise it won't function. Also if you are going to purchase this to replace a box you must return the box you are replacing. You are better off buying a genie through directv.

Yes, you can switch at the box its self. The illuminated lights that show what system channel your on, are also buttons. Just push the desired channel and it will switch to that channel. On and off button operates the same.

I don't know but I have never had this problem. I think you can change then channel on the remote. Check the instructions.

I bought this equipment for my daughter's bedroom but it was not compatible with my DirecTV satellite. You mayhave to call and confirm that the box will work before you buy it. Sorry I cannot give a better answer...

Most likely this would work. This will allow your tivo to change the channels on your cable box, using the tivo remote.

No, this box only modulates an input onto a selected CATV channel. You need something else to transmit over the air.

Do you have 1 single remote, now, that controls your DirectTV box and the TV? If yes- then this remote will work the same way. If you have to use separate remotes then maybe not.

My husband and I looked at the packaging and remote. It is NOT a multi-channel remote. So, we would guess that if you bought two of them there is a chance that they may be on the same channel and you wouldn't be able to change them.

Hi I have a basic indoor antenna(2 tvs 2 boxes) Both doing great with this converter. Be sure you place the antenna in the optomin spot in the room. I find each room has a different area that is right for the antenna. Good luck and have a happy day Betty
