    NANCY -- watersmeet, MI   4/5/2012
    Great product. Accepts all remote codes and relays them flawlessly. Very unobtrusive. Visual feedback is cool.
    MICHEL -- montreal, QC   3/26/2012
    I was well advised over a chat session by the SmartHome team with regards to this product. Knowledgeable humans behind an online site: this is the ideal situation. As for the product it works perfectly even for remote installations over Cat 5 wires.
    PATRICK -- warren, MI   3/21/2012
    Had never heard of an IR repeater until I was talking to the friend of a family member. This was the missing piece that allowed me to do what I wanted to with my system. Works great!!!!
    RICHARD -- gautier, MS   3/20/2012
    Product works great! I moved my entertainment center into the hall closet and installed the sensor in the center channel speaker under the TV. Installation was so easy. The repeaters look great. I can't say enough about this product. I will definately be installing another one of these when if we move to another house.
    LORRI -- palm beach gardens, FL   3/16/2012
    Easy to install
    VERN -- ft myers, FL   3/12/2012
    Easy setup. Was up and running TV, receiver, DVD, CD and cable box within 35 min. Great product.
    COREY -- beaumont, CA   3/7/2012
    Works exactly as advertised. Very happy with my purchase.
    ANGELA -- stansbury park, UT   3/4/2012
    Super easy to set up.
    DENISE -- reston, VA   2/17/2012
    This set up fairly easily and it works fantastically. I'm extremely technically challenged and I managed to set this up and got it to work the first time. We are thrilled with it and that we no longer have all kinds of wires and various devices littering up our tv shelf.
    SCOTT -- woodstock, GA   2/12/2012
    Worked perfectly with all my home theater devices. Very fast setup. Up and running in minutes!
    JEFF -- hurst, TX   2/6/2012
    Upon recommendation from Customer service, I purchased this to control an AT&T Uverse controller. out of the box, this did not work. After researching, I discovered the Xantech IR emitters overdrive the Uverse reciever, but by adding the Adjustable Emitter Attenuator (Part # 82787), and dialing down the strength of the IR emitter, it now works 100% of the time. This tidbit is not something Smarthome support seems to know.
    ROBIN -- palm city, FL   1/30/2012
    Great value. This system operates without fail. Easy to install. Really makes for a clean professional install for a component entertainment system.
    RALPH -- burgaw, NC   1/30/2012
    Worked great, Very happy with product
    JAMES -- farmingdale, NY   1/22/2012
    1st product not compatible so the salesman got it right with the 2nd choice of product
    ERIN -- daphne, AL   1/21/2012
    so easy to set up. works w/ audio system & dish network box. previous smarthome IR repeater would not work with dish box so this was a relief to work so quickly & perfectly!
    FARRELL -- parkton, MD   1/21/2012
    Worked just as described and solved our issue! Great service by Smarthome, too.
    STEPHEN -- greensboro, NC   1/7/2012
    I've now purchased and installed two of these units. Very easy and works great! Highly recommend for a concealed installation.
