Works good, but beware of a few issues... [Posted on 2006-03-09]
This product worked great out of the box, but it wasn't immediately clear how the receiver should be oriented, nor was it obvious that the acknowledgement blue led (that blinks when it receives IR commands) should be routed the same way as the receiver. The LED should really be integrated with the receiver, so you don't have to run two wires!
Also, the receiver seems to be sensitive to sunlight at times. The blue acknowledgement LED will stay on solid if that happens. Close the drapes and open them again usually solves the problem. If you don't do that, the regular IR commands you're trying to send won't get through at all!
Great solution [Posted on 2007-02-15]
This product just flat out works. I have a plasma and it had no problem whatsoever. Cannot go wrong with this. Nice part is not having to drill any holes in entertainment center for the eye. In this product my eye sits behing the tv, completely invisible, but receives the signal great. Would not call any of the components flimsy. Great support as well. Thanks nice product.

AWESOME Stupendous AMAZING [Posted on 2008-06-07]
AWESOME Stupendous AMAZING and yes, it worked right off the bat, unlike every other component in our HD revamp. There is no discernable lag time, which is the thing I was most worried about after 7 years of TiVo rhythms. But no, it was as if the components were all in the same room. I especially love the fact that the "eye" really isn't dependant on line-of-sight (just like the ad says!). I truly haven't been this excited about an electronics purchase since my first TiVo. One word of caution, the images in the directions don't match what you get, but it is super easy to figure out which of the three components is which. The blue LED which indicates that the IR signal has been received took a bit of time to find, but not really an issue considering how AWESOME Stupendous AMAZING this is. Kudos Hotlink!
