Review on πŸ“‘ Infrared Repeater System - IR Repeater Kit for Controlling up to 10 Devices - Hidden IR System, Infrared Remote Control Extender Kit by Richard Sallah

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for hidden home theater gear

I may be old school, but I still have quite a lot of home theater gear - cable box, BluRay player, HTPC and amp - all in a tinted glass case front. Unfortunately, this setup requires you to carefully aim the remote at the device you're trying to control, and sometimes an action won't register as the glass front reduces IR sensitivity. This IR repeater helped a lot. I placed the receiver directly under the TV and moved the transmitters to the closet. Transmitters have small sticky pads for attaching to devices. The hardest part was finding the IR receiver on some of my components.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power
