 so easy a caveman can do it September 1, 2008
I had heard of these before and thought why not? I bought two and installed both in less than 30 minutes. They both work great. All I had to do was play with the eye for inteference and now I can point the remote anywhere in the room and every thing works just how it was described. ( Full Disclosure, I am a caveman )
 Did not work with Sony 52' XBR Bravia August 23, 2008
I purchased this product based upon the reviews. After installation with my equipment in a closet behind a 52" Sony Bravia XBR everything worked well...until I turn on the TV. The IR receiver becomes completely jammed with spurious IR from the television. Adjusting the location of the eye does not help. It might work in one location during the evening but during the day it does not. It's basically a complete waste of money if you have a late model large LCD screen.
I'm an electrical engineer, and why it does not come with an IR noise filter is beyond me. It seems that the design is too sensitive to be useful with large LCD or plasma screens which are known to radiate IR.
so far it works perfect August 16, 2008
this unit works as advertised. i have a panasonic 46" plasma and as long as i keep the receiver about 3 feet away it doesn't interfere. the receiver does pick up some interference when flourescent lights are first turned on in the room but it just makes the blue indicator light come on for 20 seconds or so. i hope it lasts because this is a great product and i like to support home grown invention. congrats on your success hot link inventor, maybe you can make me a remote controlled variable audio output unit for my tv so i can hook a subwoofer to the audio output which is fixed(therefore the sub volume can't be controlled) on all but sony tvs.
Works well! August 15, 2008
Installation couldn't be much easier and the unit really picks up IR from my remotes much better than the sensors that are built into the equipment that I'm controlling. I'm very pleased.
Great item, Easy to Use and Cheaper than others August 4, 2008
I bought this to use with my new cable box and HK Receiver which is in a closed cabinet. This thing is a breeze to setup. I placed one "eye" near the IR port of my cable box and it worked instantly. The other was a little harder. Apparently if you tape the transmitting eye near the spot on the HP AVR 340 it will not get the signal, the key is to have it about 1 inch away from the IR receiving position on the receiver. After this modification it all works like a charm.
