I want to use a wired infrared repeater with my home theater system. The sensitivity of the various devices means that at any given time, one or two devices won't pick up what the remote is sending. Also, the TV set has a bezel around the IR sensor that means the TV won't see the infrared remote if it's very far off-center axis.
I tried this one:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/produc...=1&format=2Its infrared reception and infrared output were very weak, meaning it was not sufficient for what I wanted. I wrote a review that's on that page now describing why it sucked.
In the past, I have used one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/X-10-POWERMID-Remote-Control-Extender/dp/B00023KG40(Well, the Radio Shack-branded version of those), and it worked a lot better, however, it was susceptible to RF interference after a time. After leaving it up and running for a few days, it tended to get itself into a state where all it did was blink random IR noise back at itself, and then nothing would work until I unplugged it, effectively rebooting it.
Anyone have recommendations of other IR repeaters that they've used successfully? I'm considering this one:
