Works well for IR devices, easy setup

I had some trouble to have it connect to my PC but once i reinstalled the driver it worked like a charm. It found my devices, and i was able to customize a few buttons. Controls TV, audio receiver and Comcast box.

I had an older Sony programmable remote but that one was hard to program without computer interface.
This one just let you pick your device from a list, and you can assign preset buttons.

Price good too, don't want to spend 100$ on a remote.

I was having a lot of trouble with the IR Receiver I was using from another brand. So I purchased this Dell OVU400307 Remote Control IR because it had good ratings. I was very worried though because it didn't come with an IR Blaster (not an issue because it wasn't listed as having an IR Blaster) so I kind of had my doubts. However I used the IR Blaster from my old product and to my amazement and joy it just started working. I had to reconfigure the TV Setting in Windows Media Center.  But it has worked perfectly ever since. It has solved my issue with the IR Blaster in the old unit locking up and not switching channels on the Cable Set top box to the correct program that I was wanting to record. Thank you for providing a decent product so I don't have to worry anymore about whether my TV programs will get recorded.

We have an Arris DCX3200-M, which is the extension of a whole home DVR from Time Warner Cable. This infrared extender plugs into the IR port in the rear of the box and works perfectly. Sure, we'd prefer there not be a blue flash every time we submit a command, but that's a small nit. Especially appreciate that there's a 9-foot cord, allowing it to snake through a wall.

When searching for an IR extender that works with our box, Steve from Infrared Resources was incredibly responsive. If you have any uncertainty about whether/which of their models will work with your box, just shoot him an email.

This item works as described, and seems to be pretty decent quality. The IR Receiver has a 10 ft cord which is plenty long enough to run around the corner or into the cabinet where your devices are. It includes 4 IR emitter cables, which can be attached to 8 devices (each cord has 2 emitter heads). The box feels solid, and is small enough to conceal.

This box also has the ability to connect to an IR receiver wall plate (something I didn't notice when purchasing - but this is a nice option to have)

Pros:
Minimal setup required, seems to work with all devices (I have a Roku, Samsung Blu Ray, and Time Warner Cable Box). Cords are pretty thin, but this keeps concealing them easy.

Cons:
The blue LED that flashes when you press a remote button is a little distracting, but I just covered mine with a piece of electrical tape which solved the issue.

Bottom line: If you're looking to control devices concealed behind a cabinet or wall, this is a solid solution.

Nice and simple to use, downloaded the IR remote library for arduino and with a simple sketch had this up and running.
Just wanted to note that when looking at the sensor the pins are 1 2 3 and it is data, ground, vcc and I ran 5v with out issues.

This IR Kit is great! One reason I purchased it was because of the low cost as compared to the Xantech Dinky Link kit. I also purchased this one from Cables to Go mostly because of the wiring terminals with the ability to connect a Cat5 cable straight to the IR Block.

The IR receiver works great through Cat5! During the setup, I replaced the 3.5mm jack with an RJ-45 jack. To do that, I cut off the 3.5mm jack and stripped the wires. I then crimped that into a RJ-45 jack, which allowed a seemless look as I plugged that into a standard RJ-45 wall jack. At the other end of the cat5 cable, I plugged that corresponding wires straight into the IR Block for a great connection. This allowed for a great look with no visible wires.

This setup works great and highly recommend it. If you are looking for a budget friendly IR Kit to use with Cat5, this is recommended.

As for LCD interference, I have not experienced any!! To note, my receiver is about one inch below my Samsung LCD TV. If you do experience interference, just buy an LCD proof receiver, as SpeakerCraft has one for ~$60. It will still be cheaper than the Dinky Link at ~$160, which does the same thing.

Inexpensive does not equal "cheap" when it comes to this&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/HDMI-5x1-5-Port-Switch-Switcher-with-IR-Remote-Support-3D/dp/B00264NZWS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">HDMI 5x1 5 Port Switch/Switcher with IR Remote Support 3D</a>&nbsp;marvel. The box is solid, the connections tight, and the switch makes it possible for me to have all my HDMI devices connected to my plasma TV. Automatic switching isn't all that marvelous, but the handy-dandy IR receiver and remote make it worthwhile. The instructions were a little limited, which probably explains why I didn't immediately figure-out how to setup automatic switching, but I'd recommend the switcher to anyone on a budget and not ready to pony up $300 or more for&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/DVDO-EDGE-High-Definition-Video-Processor/dp/B001D4KWXM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">DVDO EDGE High-Definition Video Processor</a>.

Much to my surprise, this repeater worked on my Uverse IPN4320 Cisco receiver before I even had it hooked up properly. I had the IR emitters just hanging on the front when I plugged it in, picked up the remote and the channel changed! I watched the install video and was afraid the Uverse IR emitter was going to be finicky because you cannot see the IR emitter on the box. I found a Uverse install manual that showed the IR emitter on the receiver between Record and the Menu button. Nothing more specific than that. The close-up shows where I finally attached it without even moving it around. Took me all of 3 minutes. Thanks, BAFX!

I installed this on a Verizon Motorola QIP-7216 HD DVR. It would not work reliably with a typical IR emitter from Xantech. Now it works 100% of the time, and no need to stick an emitter on the front.

This product works  perfectly for my purpose. I am able to control my cable box as well as other electronic devices while conviently haveing them hidden from view. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because i believe anything could be improved on. I would recomend this product to any one that was interested in a infrared repeater.

Awesome! Converts the IR from the remote control, to another pyramid, that converts it back to IR, which allows you to control a device from another room.

I've used other IR to RF converters, but these hold up much better.

Works very well and easy to set up, seems to be of decent quality also

Works with 2gig when you buy a secondary controller to configure the ir commands.

Takes a little extra work but is well worth it.

Emitters are strong, everything works well. IR distance is excellent.

(Nerd Moment) The only con and reason this is 4 stars, is that the IR Receiver does not appear to be constructed as a standard, compared to spare IR receivers I own. Most receivers are a photo cell, capacitors, and just feed it to the main unit.  This one has an unknown chip doing some signal processing in the receiver itself, so I can't chain a signal in from a different device without doing solder work.  For now I'll keep the emitter from my HDMI extender taped to this one's receiver.

Works great. Using this with the zone 2 hdmi out on my receiver to a backyard TV. Probably about a 70ft cat6 run, never hiccups. Using the IR tx/rx to turn the TV on and off since I have a logitech harmony running everything and haven't had any problems.

I have an LG TV which has the IR sensor at the bottom of the TV. My sound bar blocked the IR receiver from seeing the remote properly.

I purchased this and am happy to say that it works perfectly.

Installation was easy, plugged it in, placed the sensor it to the left of my sound bar and now the TV IR can see my remote.

It's is a simple, affordable, easy solution which just works

What sets this universal remote apart from others in this price range are the easy setup and the ability to learn the codes of any IR remote.

I bought this for my parents and was able to set it up to control their TV, DVD player, and TiVo in just a few minutes. They have multiple brands of electronics (Samsung, JVC) and all worked with the quick setup feature.

One additional step was required to set up the volume control to "pass through" and always control the TV, regardless of what device you were controlling, but that was easy also.

Some of the buttons on the TiVo remote were not automatically set up automatically, but I was able to have the remote learn those by pointing the TiVo remote at the WR7 and pressing a few buttons.

This remote is large, but my parents didn't seem to mind (makes it harder to lose).

Buttons can be backlit with a touch of a button for use in low light conditions. Control selection buttons light up whenever another button on the remote is pressed, letting you know which device you are controlling.

Overall a great product.
