In the last stage of a home theater build for a friend we ran into a problem where we needed to get remote signals to a cabinet, but found most of the reviews of Logitech RF products lacking. With the mindset that whatever I setup has to work no matter what, I started searching for affordable, but still reliable alternatives. In steps the Niles remote repeater, which uses a wired receiver to send commands back to equipment hidden away. I already had unused CAT6 going from the media cabinet to the TV, so everything was pre-wired.Setup is as simple as taking it out of the box, plugging in AC and the IR senders, and connecting four wires to the correctly labeled spots on an adapter plug. After that it just works. No learning, no complicated software, no special modes... it just works.The only item I think could be useful is a way to disable the blue blinking LED on the receiver. It blinks each time IR is picked up. Depending on your client, some may be adverse to this since it needs to be located very close to a TV, and may distract or annoy you. Its very useful to know if it is working though, since it blinks when it "sees" IR, so you know if the thing is picking it up or not. When in standby or not passing along IR is has no LED's on or anything, so it blends into the background. My installation paired this up with a Samsung UN55D8000 HDTV, which if you are familiar with this model, has a small tab on the bottom with the Samsung name printed on it. The receiver stuck perfectly in this spot and if you weren't looking for it you would never notice it.

When I recently had U-verse installed, I learned that 1) it uses an apparently new or uncommon IR protocol, and 2) plasma TVs put out a lot of interference. Like many u-verse users, my remote control worked inconsistently at best. Add to that the fact that all my A/V components sit hidden away on the other side of the wall, so I was using an IR Replicator which wasn't compatible with this new protocol, and was sending interference from the TV through to the other side of the wall. It was beyond frustrating to have to hit the remote control buttons several times (which becomes exponential frustration with a DVR when u need to go back from FF to Play!).I was pointed toward the Niles Audio products on the AT&T forums, and even though the remote anywhere kit was a bit pricey, it was well worth it. Installation was actually fairly easy (I already had all my other wires running through the wall behind the TV that I ran the cat-5 for the IR Receiver through), and although it did add a few more wires to my overall setup, every component, from my a/v receiver, Blu-Ray player, AppleTV work flawlessly and quickly. Much better than before with the basic IR extender I was using.I couldn't be happier, and would recommend this to anyone needing a similar solution.

When I switched to Uverse, my old IR repeater system failed to work at all. I tried every trick that can be found on the internet (pin hole on tape covering the sensor, moving the flasher, etc.), but nothing worked. After some research, I decided to try this Niles product even though it was more expensive that my current and other IR repeaters. Once I hooked this Niles system up, my hidden components are controlled perfectly! In fact, I wish I would have had this for my old DirecTV DVR because it didn't respond too well to my old repeater. The Uverse box responds as quickly as if it was not hidden and was in direct line of sight with the universal remote. You will not regret this purchase if you are trying to hide your components, particularly Uverse. Please note however, if your sensor is more than 10' from your control box, you need to use the included CAT5 cable which can be a little tricky to splice and connect to the sensor wires, but not too difficult if you have the right tools (get the heat shrinking tubes to seal the connection between the spliced wires).
