Pros & Cons

Pros

Use this product to control cable box ir. Most tv’s are frameless and it would be better if the ir receiver was narrower to mount on the top of the tv. I am so happy this exists, allowing us to hide yet control all of our consoles. I have a sony sound...  Read More

Just plug it into a usb port on your tv and align the 2 ir sensors. Could also plug the usb into a wall socket connector. Power comes from a usb plug that i'm able to run out of my cable box so it's always on and ready to receive my remote's commands....  Read More



Cons

Apparently a defective unit. Even after re-locating the ir sensor numerous times on the cable box. Maybe the one i purchased is defected or something.

Full disclosure-the glass in the cabinet is a smokey glass. Disapointed about keeping the cabinet doors open. Total junk. This is useless.

Quality


Mounted on top of tv with old web cam bracket completely adjustable in all directions works fantastic


Glue pads are nice and strong as well


We plug the usb into power adhere the sensor to the ir on the receiver and put the small extender on the top of the cabinet


The remote struggled to turn onoff the tv or change the volume unless we got off the couch and stood 4 feet away from the screen

Price


34 at around 10 it is not expensive and is worth it for the convenience


Works great and for a fraction of the price i paid for


This is an absolute bargain at 10


Inexpensive fix to a problem that had been plaguing me for a while

Shipping


There were some delivery delays this go round which was a little aggravating

Competitiveness


After trying 3 other infrared extenders for my scientific atlanta cable box from optima i found this perfect one


I recently purchased a sony es straz5000es receiver to replace an older denon unit


A fellow sony owner ohmantics on the sony support site somehow discovered that the sensor is located about 2

    Inexpensive fix to a problem that had been plaguing me for a while


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was installed behind a 1inch wooden framing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The framing completely blocks the tv’s ir sensor

    The remote struggled to turn onoff the tv or change the volume unless we got off the couch and stood 4 feet away from the screen


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Due to the age of the tv it did not have cec capabilities


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So my choices were to find a tv that would fit this exact same framing or try an ir extenderblaster


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I bought this and installed it within 5 minutes


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I’m writing this review because i saw most reviews talking about receivers or media equipment hidden behind cabinets
