" ... Happy to report this DOES work with AT&T Uverse using a Cisco ISB7500 cable box. ... "
" ... Then about 10 minutes to run wire through the wall to the repeater and line everything up. ... Comes with a ton of wires that you only need if you have a lot of components. ... For a basic home system like mine which is just a cable box and a 4K player all you need is the power wire for the repeater and then a single wire to send the infrared signal to your boxes. ... But it's also easy and even the repeater box is labeled for which wires are which. ... "
" ... I really liked this product it really helps you to organize and hide all the messy cables ... "
" ... It allows me to extend the receiver with a 3.5mm audio cable and has no delay. ... I added a 12 foot audio cable and have zero loss. ... "
" ... Already had run cables through the wall, so all I had to do was fish another cable. ... "
" ... i even bought a larger extension cable and it is a charm! ... "
" ... Works with my cable box and my blue-ray no problem. ... "
" ... All I need now is to find the time to do some cable management and my-do list be done. ... "

" ... You do have to have the wire to pick up the signal which you just basically carefully place just out of sight behind the TV so that it picks up your remote signals. ... "
" ... This thing is so awesome and solved all of my problems with having a media closet located somewhere else in the house. ... "
" ... It was the single reason why I purchased your repeater. ... "
" ... I've got one going on 2 years old and have bought 2 more(one for basement, one for parents house). ... "
" ... i needed 2 bc i had speakers in 2 different locations / a set that was 75 ft away from the receiver end of the line. ... "

" ... I wasn't thinking and probably should have gone wireless, but after buying an IR extender cable for the receiver to make it all the right length it was smooth sailing. ... "
" ... Works with my cable box and my blue-ray no problem. ... "
" ... I didn't realize that it only came with one receiver (it has ports for 3). ... "
" ... I needed a solution to connect my cable box located in one room with a TV located in another. ... "
" ... I plugged it in, plugged the receiver in, plugged two of the emitters in and all worked perfectly. ... "
" ... I simply used a long enough 3.5mm male-to-male cable in place of one of the emitters and plugged the other end into the "remote in" port on the back of the receiver and I was in business. ... "
" ... I'm only using one of the ports, which splits out to two repeaters, so I feel like I want to buy more components. ... "
" ... You can see any of the wires and boxes for my TV ... "

" ... I've yet to get this thing to control anything. ... "
" ... The idea of having a device that takes the pain out of having to aim precisely at the device you want to control inside a cabinet or something is great. ... Some people say you can control stuff inside a cabinet, yes you can with this one if you install the receiving module out in open air and clear line of sight with wires dangling into the cabinet. ... "
" ... We can control other features on the Onkyo but cannot control the power off/ on feature. ... Looks like we will have to open the cabinet and physically push the power button to turn on and off the receiver . ... "
" ... I am sure I placed the emitter properly as there is a rectangular area just to the right of the" blue" manual on off indicator. ... "
" ... We have to push buttons several times to get the device the listen, many delayed reactions which causes you to get to the wrong channel. ... "
" ... Still only worked on every other button push of the remote. ... "
" ... It would work for a few button presses and then would go 10+ without registering. ... Making it near impossible to use the DVR or type numbers in to navigate. ... "
