Review on Dual Band HDMI IR Repeater Extender Kit: Auto-Switch & 1080P/4k Compatibility by Tracy Johnston

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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.
