 Terrific Device November 15, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This RF extender works great. I was looking for a remote extender to control my DirecTv receiver from my bedroom in my motor home and remotely in my house. This little transmitter is surprisingly powerful. I've tested the remote from over 45" away, through several interior walls, and it works perfectly. I would suggest the negative reviewer re-check the positive and negative battery & transmitter ends. It is easy to put them in backwards. I'm a gadget guy and this is on top of my list, at a fraction of the cost of most of my toys......
Buy this one. December 5, 2006

I just threw my 10x Powermid IR extender in the trash. Why? Because this one works better, and makes a lot more sense. I needed a thing like this because I wanted to hide my cable box and DVD player inside a cabinet. The Powermid product accomplished this, but left that ugly transmitter pyramid out in the open, and consumed a power outlet. I could have lived with that, but unless you point your remote straight at the pyramid, it doesn't work. Even if you do point straight at it, there is a noticeable (and very annoying) delay between when you push buttons on the remote, and when the commnads reach your components.
The NGHP ATH-433 worked like magic for me. No ugly stuff in view, no delay, and it doesn't matter where I point the remote. Inside the cabinet, the receiver communicates well with all of my components (I had to buy a transmitter for each remote. Or I could have purchased a universal remote). I didn't need this, but the receiver has a nice little remote emitter cable that plugs directly into the receiver and can be mounted directly to a component. The instructions show that there are versions of this cable that have two and three emitters. The cable that comes with it only has one, but again, I didn't need it.
The instructions are in chinaglish, but setup was easy. This is a smart product, and while it may be a little more expensive than some of the other gadgets out there, it was much less expensive than buying something that doesn't work and throwing it in the trash.
This is the one to have December 14, 2006

Like everyone else here I needed a solution to be able to control my TiVo and Cable box hidden in a closet. I tried the standard "pyramid" IR extender. It worked terribly - the remote needed to be within about 2 feet of the transmitter to get it to work at all.
I found this, read the reviews, and decided to try it out. Worked immediately and perfectly. I suggest the three emitter cable if you are controling more than one component. I bought the device, an extra transmitter and the 3 emmitter cable. Great purchase!
Don't waste your time and money on anything else.
It just works January 9, 2007

I bought this to control my TiVo and a receiver that live in a closed cabinet. Not only does this let me control the items from anywhere in the room, but also anywhere in the house.
One of the few products I've bought in recent years that I have been truly impressed with.
Easy and just works! January 26, 2007

Wow, what can I say. This product just works as advertised, and what is advertised is nothing short of amazing. Yeah, yeah, I know. IR to RF and back to IR is nothing earthshaking. But for something so reasonably priced to work so well and so neatly and deliver everything it promised is... refreshing!
I have a TV in every room but thanks to Comcast's pricing setup, I only have two cable box. So despite paying for digital (anything over channel 77) and premium channels, I only got the extra channels on TVs that had the cable box. Not anymore! Thanks to this product, I have access to digital and premiums on every room. All I had to do was run the coax out from the cable box to my video splitter in the utility room, and from there, to each TV in the house. All I have to remember is to take my remote with me, which is easy since the cable box in the basement is controlled by my universal anyway.
I understand that this may not work for everyone if more than one person wants to watch different programs. But I have basic cable connected to each TV and the other main TV has the other cable box (DVR) connected to it. For now, it's just me and my wife in the house so we have not run across any conflict.
One tiny smidgen of negative is the IR cable blaster doesn't seem to work well. I had to position it several times over the IR receptor to make it work. But I'm ready to blame the cable box for that since everything else on this product works so well.
Get it. This is a great product.
