Customer reviews

« Great Value »

It works great, basically plug and play, I now have all my DVR's, DVD players etc. hidden in my cabinet. This was by far the simplest and cheapest option, especially since this works with my ATT Uverse box which a lot of similar products aren't compatible with. Customer service was great too, I called before I bought it and they were very helpful and easy to reach. I don't see why I would need to spend more.

« Good product, Great quick customer service »

Just got this product 2 days ago. Very easy to hook up, and the 3 components I am controlling worked without a hitch. I'd been looking at this type of product for about 2 months, but was afraid to commit because the more I read, the more it sounded like these products were as simple as the manufacturers claimed they were. I was tempted to go with a Niles Audio product that cost about 4 times as much as this one.

When I first hooked it up, I couldn't find the IR on my DVD player, so I called the toll free number listed in the paperwork that came with the product to ask if this perhaps was an unsupported device. Found out that its not, I was just having a problem finding the IR. It took me very little time to reach customer service...no complicated voice prompt system...right from the operator to the CSR.

I'll update this review if there are any negative changes, but so far it works just as intended. No complaints. I only gave the product 4 stars, because I've got nothing else to compare it to.

« Very good, though cables a bit cumbersome. »

Very easy to set up and operate. The cable system is a bit cumbersome, but the reality is that once you set it up, you're not going to mess with it again. It works like a charm and I easily hid the LED light behind the edge. I see it's reflection so I know it's working but it's not a bright annoying light. Overall I'd definitely recommend this product AND you save the tons that installers try to get from you to have a "fancy" wireless universal system.

« Works Great.....Super Sensitive »

Does exactly what it should. Works great. If you have a need for it, don't hesitate. It's worth every penny.

« Good product »

I moved my home audio to a different area of the room than where my TV is. I had to purchase an extender for the IR receiver and with this product I was set. I will say that the sticky tape that came with this is pretty cheap so I used some 3M product I got at Walmart to hold both the IR receiver to the TV and the component itself to the inside of my cabinet.

Easy to install and easy to use.
