Review on πŸ“‘ Infrared Remote Extender Cable by Cable Matters - 10ft IR Repeater Cable by Melvin Goerge

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great when they work properly

I'm tempted to give 4 or even 5 stars because when they work they are fantastic and Cable Matters are usually great. However, you get 3 because we are constantly having trouble registering a signal on our devices. We tried: - Multiple brackets on the TV - Multiple brackets on or in front of the cable box and Apple TV - Change batteries in the remote controls - Move the TV away from the wall so the stove doesn't create as many obstacles as possible, if any - Use one at a time. They seem to work well at the start of the day, and then as time goes by and TV usage increases, IR extenders become more and more spirited. Extremely noticeable delay and lack of registration of signals when pressing keys. From trying to use different angles and heights of the remotes pointed at them, to disabling one and only using the other in case they interfere with each other, there seems to be little to no improvement. I'm determined to find the most reliable setup, but I'm running out of options.

Pros
  • Remotes and Accessories
Cons
  • Very Expensive
