Summary: GREAT PRODUCT
Comment: WORKED LIKE A CHARM. HAVE IT HIDDEN IN A BOX WITH MY EQUIPMENT OUT OF LINE OF SIGHT FROM THE REMOTES AND HAVEN'T HAD A GLITCH YET. GET IT!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: WOW!!!!!
Comment: This works exactely as described! I am very happy with it. Charge the battery before first use. The IR remote will work without a full charge, but the RF transmitter won't ....

Summary: Excellent solution with one exception
Comment: I have the product setup now and it works great. The minor downside is the documentation. It is sparse and some of the points get lost in translation. Normally I never worry about the documentation since I don't use it. However, in this case I had some problems getting it to work at first. What it turns out to be is that if you are using the main dome to re-transmit your IR signal then it needs to have a minumum physical seperation from the device it is controlling. The unit also comes with a IR cable with an emitter that can be fixed to the front of the device. Using this the unit works perfectly.
It's a great solution. The best feature is that with the transmitter housed in a regular battery and the receiver's use of radio waves it is all discreetly hidden away so you don't have to see any devices.
Great value for money.

Summary: neat little gizmo
Comment: This little UFO looking gizmo fills a niche for those who want to convert just about any remote control from IR to RF. Doing that allows it to go through walls and be able to go from one room to another. It does this by using a smaller battery combined with a tiny transmitter in a shell the size of a AAA cell. (an adapter shell is included for devices using AA cells. When you press the buttons on your remote, the battery/transmitter cell sends a signal to the UFO looking receiver which can be in the basement, another room, etc.
I use it to control a new digital to analog converter box (for off air reception of new digital channels) that is in my basement. The converter box feeds two tvs upstairs via RG6 (typical cable tv wire). Since it is unlikely both tvs are used at the same time, this allows me to just deal with one converter box for both and simplifies wiring. (antenna just goes to the converter box).
If you just need through the wall or floor remote conversion from IR to RF for one room - then I would suggest just getting the type of remote extender that has two units as they are more powerful. (like the Terk Technologies LF-IRX) ( you point your existing IR remote at relay unit which converts the signal to RF and transmits to a receiver. This method has a better range as the transmitter is more powerful. With the Terk type system, however you will need to put a receiver in each room you plan on using the remote.
All in all, this Next generation unit is a good value for the price and does work but its not real strong, and I find I have to wave the remote around or move about in one room to get it to receive the signal(since I don't use that tv much, its only a minor inconvenience). I plan on moving the location of the receiver and seeing if that helps. Also the charge on the batteries (since they are small) doesn't last a real long time, but they give you two so you can always have one ready.

Summary: Worked perfectly right out of the box
Comment: I have set up numerous complicated, convoluted A/V setups in the past trying to get similar performance out of much more expensive hardware. This thing is the coolest ever. Way better than an IR transmitter, this thing can transmit a signal from anywhere, regardless of where you're pointing it. Putting the transmitter inside the battery case is the coolest idea too.
