Spend a little extra for better range [Posted on 2007-08-23]
Well, I guess the moral is you get what you pay for. The RCA was cheap, so I purchased the RCA Remote Control sender to allow me to control my A/V equipment which is hidden in the master bedroom closet. The TV is mounted on the bedroom wall.
Surprisingly the issue is not the range from the receiver unit to the transmitter. The issue is the sensitivity of the receiver to the remote controls. Originally, I had the receiver on the dresser about 8-10 feet from the bed. No signals were being picked up by the receiver. I tried 5 feet, then 2. At 2 feet I was finally able to get the receiver unit to reliably read my remote control signals. So now the receiver sits balanced on my headboard instead of across the room on the dresses - not the ideal solution. Note that this was not limited to one remote. This was for 3 different remotes for 3 different pieces of equipment.
Just in case it was a room issue, I tried the unit out in the basement. Same issue.
So, looking back, I would recommend paying a bit extra for an RF transmitter set up which may work more reliably.

The RCA D940 works as advertised. You do have to be very close (within 4ft)to the signal sender and your hand held remote. From the sender to the receiver the distance can be over 100ft traveling through walls from room to room and outdoors to indoors.

The Product is exactly what I wanted, and I received it in a very timely manor.
Absolutely Great! [Posted on 2007-12-03]
This item works perfectly with my Direct TV box and two TVs. I can now change channels, etc on my bedroom TV via my Direct TV box in the living room (about 50 feet). I have the receiver base control sitting about 15+ feet from the Direct TV box with no problems. It took about 5 minutes to plug in each unit and all was done! I am using a programmable remote as the extra remote for the bedroom TV. Very nice product ... Recommended.

Performs far better than I expected. From the basement to the receiver
in the other end of the house (on the next level) works great.
Well worth the money, especially if there is no UHF remote available.
It works with my VCR also.
