Most "universal" RF remotes provided with satellite receivers, etc. have only limited programability. There is typically that last unit that is not "covered" in the programming codes. Even if covered, the unit does not have RF capability. Prior solutions, such as infrared "repeaters", require an infrared receiver and infrared transmitter, which lacks the flexibility of true RF control. The remote must have line of sight access to the infrared receiver. I had tried the Radio Shack "pyramids" with only limited success. So far, this is the best solution to the "problem" that I have found. Well thought out and implemented. Paired with a "learning" remote, I can control my entire entertainment center (which output is distributed throughout the house) from anywhere in the house. Bought one for a friend a while back. Just bought another to give me "upstairs/downstairs" access and control of equipment in my utility room as well my living room.Read full review

Bought this unit to be used for my Logitech harmony 200. It did not work. Even though you see the red light blinking, the unit itself does not emit any signal. Measured this with a IR detector which I have to test remote controls. I also did try with the attached IR remote extender w/o any luck. I also tried it with a Logitech Harmony 300. It also did not work. Same symptoms as described above. First I thought the unit to be defective. To make sure I tried it with my Samsung TV/Blue ray remote control. It DID work. This remote extender did everything what is supposed to do with this Samsung Remote control. Conclusions: I think this remote extender does work. However it does not work with what I wanted it to work with. My Logitech Harmony remote controls. I think the Next generation people should display on their web site all the remote controls that they have tested their unit with. Read full review

This AAA battery sized RF sender (433MHz) works far better and at longer distances than any of the other 418MHz devices I've used (and I've used many of them: Jensen, Powermid, RadioShack etc). The other devices seem to work at 10 meters or less with at most 1 intervening wall but the Next Gen device works 4 rooms away consistently with no RF interference from ambient RF (wireless routers, cordless phones, etc.). With ONE exception: Putting this device in a Panasonic Universal Remote that came with my Plasma TV caused erratic behavior with the remote. The remote, would not function properly even at a distance of 30 cm when aimed at the selected device. Other buttons would malfunction e.g. the "up volume" caused the volume to DECREASE. Curious. But the Next Generation RF extender worked in virtually every other single device remote. Unfortunately, you can't buy just the additional RF transmitters for less than the entire devices (RF Exttender, 2 batteries, RF Receiver, AA adapter). Sellers take note: SELL THE TRANSMITTER FOR LESS THAN THE WHOLE DEVICE. You'll sell MANY more!Read full review
This is my second unit. Using this to control the DVR for my security cameras, which is located in my basement from my second floor master bedroom. Quite a distance but works flawlessly. I have been using my 1st unit to control my cable box, which I share on 2 TV's. Goes through walls and cabinets effortlessly. I highly recommend this product.

I was excited to see this item when I looked for a tv remote extender. I did not know such a thing existed. I received the item and it performs, wow, perfectly! The item is of good quality. The instructions are simple and totally complete for every detail. As the instructions specify the possibility, my first test of the item did not work well. Making a small change ( moving the setup switch to "A" ) did the trick. So I urge others to read instructions for a great experience. No more pointing!
