Product Review (submitted on January 11, 2017):

I purchased this pair to be able to extend cable TV to an outbuilding (over the driveway). The transmitter is in the window of my main home and 30 ft away is the window to my shop. The transmitter is on the window sill of the house and is connected to one of the little cable boxes via HDMI. The end of the IR remote send/receive wire is about 6' from the front of the cable box. The receiver is about 7' inside the shop, but has line of site to the transmitter. Pretty much an optimum environment. It was quite difficult to get the units to sync up the first day. They finally did sync and the picture and remote functions worked great. After several days of frustrating use, I realized that if the receiver goes into standby, you will likely have to unplug and plug it back in to get it to sync to the transmitter. So to recap - When you shut off the TV, the receiver goes into standby (red light). When you turn on the TV next time, the receiver will likely not be able to sync (flashing white light - wait hours if you like, but it won't sync). If you unplug/plug the receiver, it will usually sync right away. This may explain the trouble I had the first day getting it to sync. Documentation is pretty minimal. The receiver unit seems to have an Omni directional antenna so you can point the front of the receiver to where ever you will be using the cable remote control. - Verified Store
