NEXTGEN3-Eye Infrared Remote Control Extender Emitter Cable

This is EXACTLY what I needed. I already own the UFO part. I've had that for about four years now. Fantastic machine. This extender cable has renewed my faith in an already great product. Oh, the sticky tape on the "eyes".... clean off your equipment with an alcohol swab, press the eye onto the spot you cleaned. Press and HOLD the thing on there for at least a minute. Stand there quietly and think of something soothing. After following this simple step it has kept these little eyes stuck and not popping off. Thank you.

I used this item in our motorhome to power multiple 12 volt items at the same time. It has performed as advertised without any problems.

Had the "closed door" remote system working within 5 minutes for both the DVD/sound system and the DVR/Cable boxes. I purchased the cable that splits the IR three ways from one receiver (3-EYE Infrared Remote Control Extender Emitter Cable), the "Next Generation Remote Control Extender" along with an extra rf transmitter that fits into the remotes. This was necessary as I use two remotes which controls two different boxes under the cabinets behind the closed doors. The entire system setup works perfectly.

I am not entirely sure what went wrong....and maybe I just haven't put enough time into this, but it did not work. I have two TiVos downstairs that I can watch on my upstairs TV. Initially I had the TiVo remote controlling one of the two TiVos. I thought I could plug this in and use the A - B switch on the remote to control both TiVos. II verified that the remote worked one TiVo in position A and the other TiVo in position B. But when I used this cable, it did not allow me to control both.

I purchased this after I bought the Next Generation Remote Control Extender ( http://www.amazon.com/Next-Generation-Remote-Control-Extender/dp/B000C1Z0HA/ ). My plan was to use the remote control extender to operate my audio/visual system located in the front of my motorhome while I was in the bedroom at the rear of the motorhome. I was hoping that it would operate my blu-ray player, my sony amplifier, and my Dish satellite box in "blast" mode since it only came with a 1-EYE emitter, however, it would only operate the Dish Satellite box in "A" mode while everything else operated in "B" mode. This was unsatisfactory since I didn't want to come from my bedroom at night to change the switch on the Remote Control Extender. The solution to the problem was to buy this 3-EYE emitter. By sticking the EYEs directly onto each piece of equipment, the remote control extender operated all equipment in the "B" mode. Thus, I could operate everything from my bedroom using my URC WR7 all-in-one remote which is exactly what I wanted. (This may be a mute point since it looks as though the remote extender now comes with both the 3-EYE and 6-EYE emitter cables.)

I use this to control a Yamaha stereo, an LG wireless control box which controls an LG TV and a motorola cable box. With one button of the Charter remote control all devices power on. I did have to find out exactly where the old IR signal entered each box but after a few minutes of experimenting everything worked.

I have a home theater I've been building for a number of years and when I painted the walls and ceiling dark colors my IR universal remote could no longer bounce the signal off the front wall and screen to hit the equipment in a rack behind me. I did quite a bit of research and for the money found the Buffalo Electronics IR solution was what I needed.Initially I thought I'd have to buy two control blocks in order to have enough flashers for all my devices and then I found this item that has three emitters instead of just one or two like the others that I had found. They installed without any problems and work perfectly. Easy to use (plug and play really) and work great.The only thing I might point out is that they use a thin piece of double sided tape (already on the emitter) to connect to your device. Most of the time this is not a problem but one of my devices had a concave face where the IR receiver was located and the emitter wouldn't stick properly. I was able to make it work with some clear thicker double sided tape (it came in small squares on a sheet).If you need more emitters and don't want to buy more controller blocks, this is the way to go.

The emitters I received were different that those pictured. The ones pictured appear to be flat on one side and the same shape/size as those that came with the saucer unit. The ones I received were smaller than the one that came with the unit, were a different size, and it appears that the plug has a minor size/tolerance difference. Needless to say, the three eye emitter I received does not work at all (the one that came with the unit, the slightly larger size emitter works fine). Felt like a bait and switch.
