Infrared Wireless IR Repeater Long Range 500 Feet and IR Remote Control Extender Repeater Kit Infrared IR Extender for Expansion (IR Emitter and Receiver)

Easy setup and works great, even at 35 feet.

These worked fine for me. My discontinued Logitech rf remote of nearly 20 years died and I needed to find an alternative for a hidden cable system with the decoder box in an adjacent room. This did the trick. The system offers the pucks which are relatively small or you can use the small receiver and transmitter add on (included) that make it virtually unnoticeable. I am ok with the puck visible on my mantle and have not bothered to attach the small receiver. I have not had any problems with receiving angles or transmitters not being recognized. A pretty simple fix relying on a power source behind your tv- and one near your cable box and other equipment- I assume both already exist.

Operating video or audio devices in a closed space creates problems with IF controllers that need direct line of site sight to operate. These radio units provide a simple way to communicate to the enclosed electronic equipment.The only limitation is the receiver and the emitter each required a power supply. An AC power source is necessary for both.

So, the system does the job. My one complaint is that both of the pucks have extensions, but they plug in the front next to the IR sensor/transmitter. The extensions should plug in the back by the power input so when you use both the puck and the extensions you can position the puck without seeing the extra cable. Other than that, or if you don't need the extension sensor, it’s a good system and allows me to keep my home theater gear in a closed rack cabinet.

This is my fourth attempt to get a wireless IR repeater working. The three earlier products did not work with all my remote controls. And one that did at least function, had horrible latency on volume. That may not seem like a big deal. But you'd hold down the volume control and nothing would happen. Then suddenly it'd be blasting. And there was long latency on turning it down too. The latency on the Fourair product is good, no problem. What I've learned is that IR remotes work over a broad range of IR frequencies (no standard). And, at least on the controls I have, there is NO documentation on what frequency they're using. The Fourair covers a broad range and gets all the remotes I have. Also, other units require the re-transmitter of IR being placed in front of the targeted component. That doesn't always work. But the Fourair includes a little IR transmitter "bead" you can literally tape to the IR receiver in your targeted component. Elegant, works great! Highest recommendation.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Bad choice

I have several devices in a cabinet in the corner of my living room, with the TV on top. All works well in the room, but I frequently want to watch from the adjoining study, where I am on the computer or such while watching. The TV and cable/Tivo controls are up high enough, stereo and CD in the middle and sorta controllable, but underneath is my DVD/VHS machine and Blue Ray player. So, I have to stand up and lean & wave around to aim over the couch and down to control them. Now no problem, just point at the receiver next to my desk and all is well! Took me a bit to figure out where to put the emitter to get the angles, etc. right, turns out under the sofa on the floor is perfect. (Yes, I still have a bunch of VHS's from long ago ...)

My stereo equipment in a cabinet to provide sound to my TV. I needed to have the door open to control the equipment. Now I can have the cabinet door closed and control it. Works great and looks much better with the cabinet closed.
