Digital camera reviews of Hot Link Pro Remote Control Booster System
Digital camera Review: Super Booster and Great Kit
Summary: 5 Stars
The Hot Link Pro Booster is a great kit. You will be able to move any or all of your IR-controlled devices to a hidden location (inside an oak cabinet in my case) to minimize clutter, wiring chaos, or just to make dusting possible.
I had a satellite receiver, DVD, and other boxes stashed around my LCD television. The boxes were awkwardly placed, to get access to them, while fitting everything on a shelf that could receive an IR signal from the remote. Using the Hot Link allowed for stashing the units in the cabinet, with no discernible delay or problem.
The kit is very easy to install. Its essentially do-able without instruction. The sensitivity of the receiver is very remarkable. It is actually a bit too sensitive when the receiver probe is placed close to an LCD television--it needs to be out of any direct line or immediate proximity to LCD or it will continuously register a signal just from the screen.
I highly recommend the kit. It seems suited to essentially any box with remote control that you may want to stash: satellite receiver, home theater receiver, DVD, DVR, or stereo components.
Digital camera Review: Works as advertised!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros - Simple setup, works perfectly. Plenty of wire for up to six components. I use my remotes from about 20 feet away with no problem. My components are stored in a cabinet. The eye is inconspicuous and absorbs the IR very well. I figured it must, and it does, plug into a standard 120 outlet (not shown in photos).
Cons - The plug has a built in transformer (larger than standard plug).
Digital camera Review: CANNOT GET TO WORK...
Summary: 1 Stars
I wish I could give it 0... I think I need to send it back. The light is continually blue. I've not rung the helpdesk yet as I wanted to calm down first. It came in a tatty box, has a cheap connection cable (sure I can buy a cheap one... but so can the manufacturer). Documentation is basic at most and online help is non-existent. I'm going to wait another week and then get my money back. $60 for a $5 bundled set of electronics....Digital camera Review: AWESOME
Summary: 4 Stars
Meant to click 5 STARS but couldn't edit my selection! This product is great. It is extremely easy to install. It took all of 5 minutes and I was up and running. The component remotes truly work better than they did prior to installing The Hot Link Pro. As everyone says the cable for the "eye" is short but all of the informamtion is in the box to help you order accessories. As always the shipping was unbelievably fast I had the product within 3 days of ordering!Digital camera Review: Works FLAWLESSLY with AT&T's U-Verse Box
Summary: 5 Stars
After trying several other emitters/extenders, this one prevailed with it's capability of working with my U-Verse box.
