If you have a cable box, you may be able to hide it and still use a remote. To do this, you will need to have a wireless remote control. You can usually find these online or at your local electronics store. Once you have the remote, simply follow the instructions that come with it. In most cases, you will be able to hide your cable box and still use the remote.
Yes, infrared remote can go through walls. Infrared is a type of light that is not visible to the human eye. It is used in remote controls because it can travel through objects, like walls.
There's no definitive answer, as it depends on the remote and the wood. Some people have reported that their remote works just fine after placing it behind a piece of wood, while others have found that the wood blocks the signal. If you're concerned about your remote working through wood, you can always test it out by placing the remote behind a piece of wood and trying it out.
If your TV remote isn't working as well as it used to, there are a few things you can do to try and boost its signal. First, check to see if the batteries are low and replace them if necessary. If that doesn't help, try moving the remote closer to the TV. You can also try pointing the remote directly at the TV, rather than at an angle. If all else fails, you may need to purchase a new remote.

I now have 3 of these scattered across the house, and all have performed admirably, despite the fact that on my most recent unit, one of the emitter connectors came loose with little resistance. In a dedicated theater with all equipment in a closet around the corner, I'm utilizing the most recent (updated) version for redundancy with my Harmony Ultimate just in case I don't feel like fumbling with the Harmony remote while adjusting component settings, etc. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Harmony IR Blasters will convey the signals from this unit while experimenting with location and compatibility options (when used in conjunction with a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter). Updated note: If you hang it directly in front of the Marantz's remote eye when using the Harmony IR Blaster, it does control all of the functions of my Marantz AV8802A processor (see attached pic). If you connect the BAFX receiver input to the Harmony Home Hub blaster output, this device will also rebroadcast the signal from a Harmony IR Receiver sent through a Harmony Home Hub.

My gas fireplace's first replacement, this was my second one. My first one stopped working after around 8 years. excellent performance with the RCT transmitter. Unlike the transmitter, whose batteries seem to live forever, the receiver's batteries need to be replaced every year. The tabs that hold the battery door in place need to be handled with caution. They're not particularly flexible, and on my first receiver, they broke quickly. The supplied thumb switch must be positioned above the on/off/auto mode switch when used with a cover plate. Another component of the device that appears to be fragile is the mode switch. When I was reattaching the thumb switch, the mode switch inside the device broke off, necessitating the replacement of my second unit. Making ensuring the receiver's DIP switch arrangement matches the transmitter's is the installation's most technical component. Overall, the device performs as intended and has shown that with proper use, it will continue to work for many years.

For a brand-new Cisco Charter (Spectrum) cable box, I bought and installed this equipment. A few weeks ago, I bought a different manufacturer's model, and it was awful. This one is simple to set up simply plugging into the Cisco box's IR connector on the rear, passing the thin cable through my bookshelf, and taping it to the front of the shelf. My initial thought was that the IR unit was really tiny and sensitive. Now, I have complete control over the Cisco box from any position in the room. I turned the remote control backwards to test the IR, and it continued to function. I increased my distance from the previous IR's 6 feet to 20 feet. This is a fantastic product that is well worth the money. Knowing that I finally received value for my money from one of these IR devices is consoling.

A new TV mount that lowers the TV in front of the fireplace was purchased. When watching TV, I liked that it was lower, but when I wasn't washing, it was up and out of the way. The DVR and BR player, however, are booked when the TV is off. This was how I transmitted the IR single. It plugs right in to one of the USB ports on the TV, and I attached the emitters to the rear and the receiver to the front. I didn't need to put the emitters in the devices themselves because the single is strong enough, so I won't have to bother about wires when I move the TV.

I chose this product after examining a large number of IR extenders because of its positive reviews and customer service. I have two of them connected to my Magnavox DCX3501-M cable box using a splitter called a 9-inch Shielded Stereo Plug to Dual Stereo Jack Splitter for IR Emitters, Headsets, etc. One must be placed in the living room (as the built-in IR becomes disabled) and the other must be placed in the bedroom. Additionally, I have divided my cable into each room from the box. I can now control the cable box whenever I want from both rooms (saved the cost of an additional cable box rental).In my testing, I was able to operate the remote control from 50 feet away (the furthest "nearly" straight shot" I could see and get from my TV in my home) as well as from my hallway, which is at a 90-degree angle (10 feet; I couldn't go any farther). This is the IR extension you want if you need one. Concerned about compatibility? Email them instead.

Setting up top-of-the-line projection systems for home theaters and commercial conference rooms is one of the things I do.One of the main issues we usually have is getting a steady signal from the video source to the projector. Every time I can, I attempt to discretely connect the source and the monitor with a Redmere HDMI cable. However, unless the consumer is ready to have their walls and ceiling torn down, this is only seldom a possibility.Consequently, I arrive at this thing: the Pakite HD Wireless HDMI Sender.It wirelessly and steadily transmits a clear, reliable, and clean HDMI signal from the source to the projector. They claim it is effective up to a height of more than 200 feet, although I must admit I have never tested it at that altitude.It's a fairly complete device as well because it has an integrated remote IR Blaster that enables you to control the source from the projector. If you want to send something to a distant screen while also viewing it locally, the transmitter can even act as an HDMI splitter.They also provide 2 short HDMI cables in the packaging, which is quite considerate. Regarding appearance, they are modestly sized shiny black boxes with imposingly big antennae.These gadgets may also be used by me when I occasionally record business sessions on video.A fantastic product.

I was able to utilise this one gadget to conceal both my Apple TV and Uverse box in the cabinet. I connected the receiver cable with a clear command strip at the bottom of the TV and ran it from there. I attached the transmitter end to the cabinet door at the cabinet end using a command strip hook. Apple TV AND the Uverse box are positioned on top of one another, roughly 4 inches apart. Both of them can be controlled perfectly well by one unit. For the past eight months, this has been operating, and I no longer need to open the cabinet door so that the remote may operate each gadget.

A cable box is included into my MBR TV setup and is located in a closet around 50 feet from the TV (hung over a fireplace). The A/V system was connected through the walls, underneath the floor, and into the closet when it was put up. Sadly, some mice chewed on the wire, causing it to malfunction. I've tried everything, including the Startech and the Next Generation extender (of which I've lately purchased six for various TVs over the years). The Next Generation have not received any updates in years and eventually lose all functionality. No customer support at all; emails go into thin air. I was quite optimistic about the Startech. Straight out of the package, it was simple to assemble. The delay is the issue. I could deal with it when I was watching live TV, but it was unbearable when I was watching DVR recordings (which is cloud based). Up until I used the Sewell Blaster, I was losing hope. I set it up in just five minutes, and it immediately functioned. I'm thrilled to have little to no lag at all.NB. Speaking of Sewell, the Sewell Direct SW-30062 Dual Band InjectIR, available from Amazon for $55, is by far the BEST way to operate your HDMI-based TV. This actually functions plug-and-play and has zero lag. I purchased two of these to control the TVs in my flat, which required me to conceal boxes in the closets. I adore this product; it is well crafted, has excellent instructions, and is synchronized with the devices. Because I couldn't find them on Amazon when I needed them, I purchased mine directly from Sewell (same price). They have a terrific return policy and, from what I've heard, excellent customer service. If you are unable to use these, choose the Blaster.

UPDATE (5 STARS NOW): I'll include my original review below in case anyone else has a similar experience. The company got in touch with me to try to fix the problem, and the tech was genuinely interested in doing so. However, after going through a few troubleshooting processes, he decided he wanted to replace my equipment. The interaction with my Directv as well as all the other components functioned as soon as I connected the new device and received it. Very pleased with both my purchase and the business, which stood by its goods until the issue was fixed.The setup was quite simple, and the wireless aspect is wonderful since I have my components next to the couch and a TV above the fireplace. Other than my Directv HR54, the IR appears to work with everything. Even my Roku functions right out of the box, as does the HDMI switcher and DVD player. The DirecTV DVR only occasionally functions. Before attaching the transmitter, I tried a number of things, like moving the Directv's IR and covering it with blue tape. Even applying tin foil over it once to block interference didn't work very often—only one out of ten times. I'm going to attempt covering a little hole with electrical tape, but it appears that either the transmitter is too potent or the Directv frequency isn't exactly perfect.

I like to place our DVD player on a shelf and out of reach of children. Unfortunately, even though we moved it to the desired location, we were unable to control it with the remote. This is the ideal remedy for it! We merely hooked it in using a wall USB block, placed the sensor such that it could detect the remote, then placed the other little sensor next to the DVD player's IR sensor. We set it up in less than five minutes and can now easily manage the DVD player while keeping it hidden on a shelf. A fantastic way to prevent the kids from damaging our DVDs. The best use of $7 in a long time!
One way to extend an IR signal is to use an IR repeater. An IR repeater consists of an IR receiver, which captures the IR signal from the remote control, and an IR emitter, which sends the signal to the IR-controlled device. The repeater amplifies the signal so that it can reach the device, even if the remote control is not in direct line of sight.
If your remote control is not working through a wall, there are a few things you can try to fix the issue. First, check the batteries in the remote. If they are low, replace them with fresh batteries. If that does not work, try moving the remote closer to the TV or other device you are trying to control. If the remote still does not work, there may be an issue with the remote itself and you may need to purchase a new one.
There are a few ways to tell if your remote is RF or IR. If your remote has a clear plastic cover over the top, it is likely IR. If your remote does not have a clear cover, it is likely RF. You can also tell by the range of the remote. IR remotes will have a shorter range, while RF remotes will have a longer range.
2.4 Ghz remote can go up to 100 feet.
A TV remote can work from as close as a few inches to as far away as 50 feet, depending on the model of the remote. The infrared signal emitted by the remote control is picked up by a receiver on the TV. The strength of the signal decreases the further away the remote is from the TV.
Yes, it is true that infrared is used mainly in television remotes for long distance signals. Television remotes use infrared to send signals to the television from a distance. The infrared light is invisible to the human eye, but it can be detected by electronic devices.
