does the glass front interfere with the signals from the TV and cable remotes?

I have never had any problems with the TV or cable remotes. In fact I have a smart TV and it is hooked up to my wireless router which is located on the ground floor. My TV is in my basement and I have not had any problems picking up the WiFi signal.

Here's what I did to resolve this issue... I have two Samsung TV's I'm using as Monitors (side by side dual monitor desktop stand) and wanted to be able to use the built in HDTV tuners of each separately. IR remotes usually have a wide angle lens to disperse the IR signal over distance in a wide arc, so it bounces off things (less directional) and has more paths to the IR receiver. So, what I did was use some black electrical tape and narrowed the lens opening which makes the IR signal more directional. I blocked off about 3/4 of the lens by putting electrical tape on each side of the lens (and top and bottom), thus leaving only approximately 1/4'' of the lens open/uncovered in the middle. Basically, you just want to cover enough lens to make the IR signal more directional. I have two TV's side by side used as monitors and can point to each and control them independently.

works fine with 3 of mine--shut off your tv speakersonly problem is , if you have comcast, the remote signals overlap.if you are going through the channels, the volume changes.. very annoying and a pain in the ass. unit sounds terrific, but the crossover of remote signals is a load of crap. had i known this, i would have purchased a different brand.. if you don't have comcast , you're fine.

I have mine hanging on the wall next to my TV stand. When I first got it I had it laying on top of the stand. I haven't had too much trouble getting signals. I have a couple stations that pixelate but they did that when I tried the window too so the tower for those stations probably is too far away or something.

A glass window should not impede the signal. A metal screen or frame might interfere but it would have to be substantial.

Yes there is an echo. No it is not caused by the cable type. The echo will still be noticeable with toslink cable. The TV volume should be turned all the way down and tv audio should be redirected to the soundbar. Theer will be no echo and the sound will be controlled from the soundbar.

No.. be careful with the cable, as it also contains the signal lead for the directional control box, this is just my suggestion only.

I have two sets in close proximity. They don't interfere with one another. My two remotes only control their respective controller. I did no programming. It's the way they came out of the box. In the directions there are ways to couple and uncouple the remote with the controller but I didn't need to get into that.

The only thing that might help is to mount the controller higher, and make sure its away from other electrical wires, florescent lights or anything that might cause signal interference.

Sounds like you've talked to someone that doesn't understand radio waves. No, windows will not break the signal. If you live in an apartment or close to others using similar devices, you may get interference from their devices. The only way I could see windows "breaking" the signal, would be because of the lack of solid walls with wires and foil insulation, you could get crossover or interference. But that is not a common problem at all. Get them and enjoy the music.

yes. all the remotes work through the glass. i can use the comcast remote, the tv remote, the roku remote and the dvd remote.

Your TV has a built in signal strength control. You can't get too strong of a signal.

Yes almost all remote signals interfere with each other specially when they are of the same strength of frequencies.

I installed the wires as shown by the color-coded outlets on the unit and the TV and have had no problem. The unit does have a sound control operated by the remote--is the sound adjusted to an appropriate level? How about the TV's (or other receiving unit) sound controls? Does it have a "mute" button?

Hi Gladys, Yes, it will eliminate the ghost effect for you. Please email support@cablematters.com if you have any further questions. Thanks, Cable Matters Support

The back of the unit is half a foot from my tv and I don't notice any effect. I hope this helps.

No, but the signal can get interfered with depending on the object. It might cut out a bit. For best sound try not to be in different rooms
