Digital camera reviews of Hot Link Xl CAT-5 Ir Repeater System
Digital camera Review: A great product - works perfectly as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
It just works.
Don't be discouraged by the box that it's shipped in. That's just about the only thing that is bad about this product. The box gives the impression that it's one of those cheapo gizmos they used to sell in NYC electronics stores circa 1980's. The inventor really needs to market and distribute such a wonderful product much better.
The receiver is ultra sensitive, so sensitive, in fact, that I needed to hide it behind my plasma, cover it up with a post it, and it'd STILL catch every single remote click. I have tried it with a Scientific Atlanta cable box, and a Samsung DVD player with no problems at all. Every available button on the remotes gets transmitted perfectly. The only thing I'd suggest is a way to tone down the sensitivity of the receiving IR eye. Bright scenes on the plasma tv would make the blue LED blink (meaning that it was receiving an IR signal). As would fluorescent lighting. Once I covered the receiver up with a post it, it works perfectly. You can literally aim your remote anywhere and the IR will receive the signal off the bounced waves.
I'd highly recommend the XL system which is expandable via a CAT 5 wire. This allows up to 200 ft, the physical limit of CAT5 wires. Trust me, threading a Cat5 cable through sheetrock is a lot easier than doing it with a big cable ribbon. My setup is as follows: I have a single bedroom apartment with the living room and bedroom separated by a dividing wall 4 inches thick. I wanted to mount two plasmas back to back on either side of this dividing wall. However, I wanted to share the cable box, dvd player in the living room with the one in the bedroom. This product allows that perfectly. I am saving $10 a month by not having to rent another cable box and also avoiding the unsightliness of more video equipment in the bedroom.
Thanks Microsmith!
