Could this take the place of a typical IR kit which would be used to hide a cable box in another room? Would the FLIC be plugged into the TV, or Box?

No. It is still IR meaning it only has a few feet of range and must be in the same room. Also, it is probably not compatible with cable box or TV. It is designed speficially for computer and Raspberry Pi or other media center that requires IR control.

In my experience, this device emulates a keyboard. It's not a IR relay or anything like that. It simply translates a IR signal into a specific keyboard character that a PC could take action on. Not sure it would be appropriate for the applications you are referring to.

It is pretty small (about 16" long) so it doesn't block the signal. I assume that you are placing it in front of your television and not in front of your sound system so it shouldn't be a problem. I also use a Logitech universal remote which uses radio to a IR blaster that works great.

It's IR and it should work. Just make sure the transmitter nodes are adhered directly over and facing into the sensor of the box. Even a small gap may cause problems.

Yes! this one has 4 IR emitters so it can work with up to 4 components including working with the same or different remotes. I have three, cable box, stereo surround and DVD player. Works great especially for the price!

Shouldn't be a problem. The infrared illuminator is built in and runs off the camera's power supply. The output is standard CATV.

If each piece of equipment is different, then an ir blast won't work if it's for something else. So, I would say use 1 emitter on each to keep things simple.

Try a "FLIRC" ir reciever/translator http://www.flirc.tv/ $15 with your own usb extension cable.

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.

Here is a link to what TiVo has: https://www.tivo.com/shop/detail/ir-adapter-wall .

YES.. from a simple look at your device on google.. I dont see any reason why not.. again, the USB plug is ONLY for Power.. it has no technical function whatsoever. I see that your box has a USB port on the front, I Don't recommend using that USB port for the power. Reason, when you shut off the box, then that USB port most likely shuts down and will kill the IR Extender. use a spare USB charger or similar.

This comes with a remote infrared unit that you place in front of the device you want to control from the other room. I use it to control my channel input on my DirecTV receiver. You have to be sure and place it very close to the infrared receiver on your DVR in order for it to work properly. I bought two sets of these things and they work great!

Haven't used this IR port before but in researching this is called RI port and the equipment you are going to control has to have the same RI port in to control that piece of equipment in the other room. Example had a Onkyo CD player and had RI in you could have CD player come on when you turn on receiver. The RI port is a 1/8" mono plug or also called 3.5 mm mono plug. If your trying to control receiver and equipment from another room you're probably better off installing a IR kit but need a 1/8" wire from room to room and a IR kit I've used the cables to go IR kit works good and only about $40-$45 . Good luck hope this helps.

I don't think so but I had another camera that I used to do what you are talking about and I just put electrical tape over the IR lights and that worked great. Not the best solution but it did work fine.

Yeah, I wonder too. It's great that the remote has IR to operate your other components, but how about operating the TV with an IR remote.

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.

no, typical a unit such as DVD/TV/Receiver receives a IR signal from a remote. This is used to connect to a unit that sends a signal such that it mimics the IR from a remote thus changing channels etc. This would also connect to an IR repeater to let you hide your IR devices which are line of sight behind a curtain or door.

I am not sure what you are asking. You plug one output HDMI and up to 3 input HDMI into the switch. So for example a gaming console and Blu-ray player would be 2 inputs, and the output goes to a TV. A remote control for the switch is provided. What would an IR sensor be used for in this situation.
