Where does the IR receiver go? Does this have a proper opening on the front panel?

There are 2 usb ports in the front, but the front lid hides them. What I did was buy a usb hub with an usb extension cord, plugged it in the back of the HTPC and put it by my tv. I just purchased the Silverstone Tek GD05B, which I am muchhappier with. The Grandia has HD hot swappable bays that block any air flow. If you don't need to swap HD's, then the Silverstone Tek is a better product. It also has 2 exposed usb 3.0 ports on the front.

I'm not really know what do you mean by proper opening, but if you close the the front cover there's no way for the IR to communicate

The short answer is no. There are no native ports or interfaces that will support an IR controller. That said, there may be a way to still accomplish the goal. If your motherboard supports a CIR receiver, it may be possible to position the receiver at the front the the case (ideally behind the power button) so the IR signal can pass through. Be warned, the front face plate is a thick plate of solid aluminum which will greatly inhibit or block the IR signal altogether. This should be tested before having any expectations.

The IR port is where the infared sensor with a wire plugs into so u can mount the sensor in a conveinent location for remote control operation while keeping switcher hidden. DC port not sure I just unplugged it (had it plugged in) and it still works.

I can confirm what 'Tahotoy' reported - the "repeater box" as you call is what I would consider the IR receiver box - it does indeed have the Cat 5 input connector (F), the IR "eye", and a blue LED that confirms when an IR signal is being received. The latter is handy to know if you have the remote pointed in the right direction. There is no 4th connector. The power for this unit is derived via the CAT 5 wiring between this unit and the base unit, which has the supplied AC power adapter power input jack. Hope this helps. This unit is great BTW. Trouble free install and in use for 5 years.

There is some room in the back but not much. I have a Pioneer Elite Receiver and I actually cut out the back plate completely behind the receiver to access its back panel conveniently. I did that on my other system as well and I can not imagine how I could access all the cords, speaker cables in any other way. This is only an issue for the receiver, the other components do not require that many cables.

Yes, it does, but it is sometimes difficult to use because the IR Sensor is behind a tiny hole next to the Power Input Jack.

Yes, there is a small transponder that needs to be affixed over the DVR and DVD infra-red receiver, so you'll need to figure out where those are.

No, in fact, you just need to plug this 3-eye unit into the socket your 1-eye unit was plugged into. I have my system in a shallow depth closet and one eye mounted in front of each item (receiver, cable box and DVD player) on the back of the closet door. It's was a bit tricky to get each sensor aligned in front of the IR eye on each unit, but a simple internet search for each unit's model# helped greatly. I'm thinking if the eyes were not so close to the front of the units, it would have been easier to locate. They're about 5-6 inches away so they don't get much of a chance to spread the signals.

Depending on your camera, it's inside. Be careful as this will hurt your ability to use infrared.

What you see in the main picture is the top. The unit lays flat on top of your receiver. It pulls air up into the unit and then blows air out of the three large holes in the side. If you look at the second picture of the unit, you'll see where the air blows out from.

The front panel is on a hinge. So it's easy to open afterwards. However, you'll have to plan your wiring accordingly.

No. None I can notice. This is the best ir relay, get it. I returned 2 before funding this gen and bought 3. Well worth the slight extra cost.

You have to go to the setup menu on the satellite box and change from IR to RF.

Depends on your application. I had to order a much longer cable to run between the IR sensor and the junction box.

There is no IR window. I just use the wired IR receivers since I have the computer buried behind the TV anyway.

Infrared is line of site so not without drilling a hole in between which it sounds like you could. Also the way I have it setup I have the existing infrared receiver covered so it is not working anymore. You might be able to rig it up in such a way that both would work, but I haven't tried it.

It's 120 inches long or 10 feet long. If thats not long enough for your aplication, you could use any low voltage wire to extend the IR reciever.
