replaced by Sewell Direct

Not working. Tested with multiple cables and multiple remotes. One of the plugs was loose, maybe that was the problem. replaced with a Sewell Direct product that worked with the same cables and remote controls.

Pros
  • . The only IR over HDMI cable repeater kit on Amazon or in the US with a convenient and logical top insert for IR receiver and IR emitter connector. Everyone else has to connect to the adapter on the side, which makes no sense! The connector on the side interferes with the HDMI cable next to it. You will not see competitors showing the main image when the transmitter and receiver are connected to the adapters. Compare our IR Receiver and IR Transmitter with others. Our smallest, making our kit compact and versatile.
Cons
  • Not sure

Best and Cheapest Infrared Remote Control Solution

This is the best solution if you have a TV above and a cable box below. It also turns out to be the cheapest solution. I used it with a 50ft HDMI cable. It is powered via HDMI, so there is no need to connect additional power and batteries. Also, unlike others, you don't have another box setup on your TV.

Pros
  • Sometimes the TV needs to be turned on to power the TV's HDMI port before the kit will work. Bidirectional RX/TX 20-60kHz switches allow you to control audio/video devices from both the device and source sides. Professionals prefer wired IR solutions. An existing HDMI cable turns this kit into a wired IR solution.

Works perfectly! Best of the remote control extensions

Works great with a 15m directional HDMI cable. Since we rarely watch TV in the bedroom, I decided to return my Direct TV (mini genius) and instead run a 50ft cable and use this little gem. So yes, my bedroom TV and living room TV mirror each other since I end up with the same HDMI output using an HDMI splitter. But if you want to save $9 a month and still have instant access to your bedroom TV, then this is a great option that works flawlessly with no lag in control as long as your eye is in…

Pros
  • CEC switches automatically. No external switch required! All others on Amazon must be manually set to IR or CEC. Operating distance 38 kHz up to 40 feet. 56kHz up to 25ft
Cons
  • Almost never
