Review: worked like a charm - customer service was great, they replied to my inquiry under a couple of hours and provided great advice on which product i should get. I ended up ordering the IRP-2 Dual Frequency IRI,CFL,ESI,EMI,LCD and Plasma Proof IR Repeater and the 25ft Ir Emitter 3.5mm Mono Extension Cable. They were easy to install and it worked like a charm. my Rogers NextBox is now in a different room and I can control it with no issue at all (just a very tiny delay between commands). I can point the remote from any direction and it works, even better than when I was using the remote directly to the box! this is a great product and very well priced. Speciality stores wanted to sell me a complicated kit for $100 and regular stores wanted to sell wireless solution that never really work (i tried). Review: IR Repeater Kit Works Perfectly - Purchased this IR repeater to operate both my FIOS TV DVR and Pioneer VSX-1021K Receiver. Due to both units located in a cabinet underneath the big screen TV, I would experience problems with the changing channels or raising volume due to the line-of-sight issue with the FIOS Remote Control. I contacted Infrared Resources. They highly-recommended this Dual Frequency IR Repeater Kit that they just began selling in FEB 2012. The price was right and I purchased the IR Repeater. Installation was extremely easy. All pieces have 3M adhesive tape so they can stick anywhere. Anyway, mounted the sensing receiver at the top-center of my big screen TV, and the repeaters mounted in front of my FIOS TV DVR (QIP-7232 P2) and Pioneer VSX-1021K Receiver. Connected power to this unit and worked perfectly. Now, no matter where I am in the Living Room, changing channels and/or volume works flawlessly with no line-of-sight issue. I highly recommend this IR Repeater and am very pleased with Infrared Rescources. They offered great advice and shipping was very fast (2-days). This IR Repeater works with any remote control.

After much research, glad I went with this IR repeater kit
Like many people, I wanted to hide my cable DVR and sound system. After scouring the internet looking at all kinds of different systems I finally decided to try this kit. The price was right and works on two different components. I could not be happier! They work as advertised and are easy to install. Took about 5 minutes to hook up my DVR and sound system. The only difficult part was finding the IR "eye" on my DVR. The cable company told me the wrong spot. So I just googled the make and model number and found the owner's manual. It had pictures showing exactly where it was. I placed the reciever on the front of my 60" flat screen and it blends right in. You don't notice it unless you're looking for it. My remote has never worked better. I don't even have to aim it at the tv and it works flawlessly. A big thanks to all the awesome Amazon reviewers that helped with my decision.

Works great, but did not come with instructions
I have a Motorola DCX receiver. I consider myself pretty handy, but the fact that this item did not come with clear installation instructions was a little frustrating. I ended up finding the instructions online, but I shouldn't have had to hunt for them. Once I found the instructions, installation took five minutes. There is no noticeable lag in the reaction time from remote to devices.

Great product! Works with Scientific Atlanta 8300!!
Fantastic product! I had spent a week looking at other less expensive products, but I needed to make sure something worked for my Scientific Atlanta 8300HDC box. This was the only product I could find that said it would work so I went for it. I can verify that it works perfectly with the 8300. Also my 8300 died 2 days after and TWC replaced it with a newer Samsung Box and it works perfectly with this new dvr box as well. The cables have plenty length for me to hide my cable box and has a nice strong single. I sit about 10 ft from the receiver and there is no difference or delay when using this IR extender. Overall very happy. As a bonus, because it has 2 IR blasters on it I can add a dvd player later and have that work without having to get a new Extender. Love it!

Works well with my plasma TV
I have a plasma TV hooked up to a HTPC. The IR receiver for the computer did not play nice with the plasma. If the IR receiver was anywhere near the tv it blinked nonstop since it confused the plasma light with IR signals. The solution was to move the IR receiver way back on the shelf. This stopped the plasma interference but made the remotes hard to use. You had to aim super carefully and even then it often did not work. I was cautious buying this product. I purchased another IR relay that supposedly "works with plasma". It did not. The relay forwarded the plasma noise. I am happy to report this product works great with the plasma. Install was very easy. Used the USB power source. Took about five minutes to install. Tested by holding the IRP receiver right in front of the TV. The IRP successfully filtered the plasma light only transmitting the signals from IR remote.

Its a good product
If you don't mind the wires leading up to the LED on the front of your equipment, then this product is for you. It does what it says.

It works
Bought this to solve the problem I had using my Harmony 650 remote with a Cisco 8642HDC cable box that sat too low in my setup (my ottoman would block the beam) to pick up the IR beam from the remote. Previously, I had to arch my arm way up to align the remote with the cable boxes' IR sensor, but this completely alleviates that. Setup took all of a few minutes. I attached the receiver to the front bezel of my TV (using the supplied adhesive) and attached one of the two available IR emmitters over the sensor on the front of the cable box, now the remote works perfectly without me having to angle it perfectly. Obviously this would work as well if your goal was to completely hide your cable box altogether. The kit comes with two emmitters so I could also use it with my AV Receiver if I needed to.
