It works great, and is easy to install. All you need is a power source near buy, connect the IR sensor & mount it somewhere in your room, then connect the transmit cable & mount one or more of the IR emitters near the sensor on your receiver. You don't have to be too terribly precise on how close to your AV sensor you mount the emitter. I even tried just dangling one near the front of my AV receiver, and it worked just fine. I believe this will be compatible with most remotes and receivers, but I didn't take the time to study all of them. Oh, and you can connect multiple remotes to multiple IR receiver devices, so it is pretty handy if you are stuck with more than one remote with audio/visual equipment that is not in the same room. Review: Great So Far! - Feels like a well made product.

I have an HDMI splitter in the man cave. I want to simply be able to use the cable remote from the man cave TV to change channels from the exercise room, going through one wall. I'll just take the remote to whichever room I'm in. Do I need anything else other than this item. I couldn't ask all this in the questions, maybe someone will see this answer, sounds similar. I'm already operating 2 TVs off a single cable box with a splitter but want to use the remote in both rooms. **Q: Does this work with FIOS 7xxx HD DVRs?** A: It works perfect with va comcast DVR. So I magazine other DVRs will work. You'll have to find the right spots to place the 2 sensors for best performance. The only device that the infrared device doesn't work well with is an older Sony reciever I have hooked up. I only get volume control with this. **Q: I wired CAT 5 in the wall for my IR repeater to the audio equipment in another room. Could I still use this even though the input uses a 3.5mm cable?** A: Here's what I did. 1. Cut the plug head off the 3.5mm cable leaving about a foot of cable left on the plug (you'll use this later). 2. Strip the red/white/black cables that inside the 3.5mm cable on the receiver side and the plug side.3. Strip the Cat5 on each end. You'll use 3 of the small Cat5 wires.4. Attach red/white/black cables to Cat5 (I connected red to green, white to green/white, black to brown). Use the same 3 cables on each end (receiver side and plug side) Of course don't let the wires touch once installed and secure with electrical tape.5. Plug it in.I originally tried to bypass the plug and use the 4 screws in the amp...that didn't work. Using the steps above has proven flawless for me. Hope that saves you a headache. **Q: Will it work if I place the ir receiver under my plasma tv? My tv is mounted over the fire place, and I was going to place the receiver on the bottom** A: I had it placed like this for a while but found that I had to angle my remotes more than I wanted to. I wound up sticking it to the front right underneath the TVs IR receiver and secured it with double sided tape and used electrical tape to secure the cable along the back of the tv. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Remote Control Receiver Kit *by J***. on May 6, 2026* I purchased this so I could control my SONY AV receiver from my theater room when the receiver is mounted behind a wall in the adjacent utility room.

Easy setup and works well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Price and does what it says *by J***L on November 10, 2011* I had purchased an old 60's magnavox HiFi console on craigslist and gutted it of its old tubes, speakers, and other whatnots. I bought this repeater so I could hide all of my components inside the cabinet. It has worked flawlessly so far (it's been a month). The only visible part is the little black receiver that is about the size of my index finger. As others have mentioned, it has a very bright blue light that lights up whenever it sees a remote's signal. I suppose you could tape over this if you find it bothersome, but since it's the only visual notification that I have when I turn up the volume on my stereo, I have kept it uncovered. Then I know its working. Because it works so well, I would consider buying one of these even if I didn't intend to hide my components. The receiver sees my remote's signal MUCH better than any of my components ever did, and I only have a single point in the room where I need to aim the remote. Definitely a good purchase. UPDATE: I've had this now for 6 months or so, and after moving the little receiver box a million times (I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old) the cord has come lose from the circuit board inside. A replacement costs 20 dollars with shipping :/ Still.. this is a great unit, but you may want to secure the connection between the wire and the receiver unit (the part with the obnoxious blue light) with some electrical tape or something. UPDATE2: It's been like 2 years and this thing is still going strong. I use this with a XBMC/KODI set up and I have taped the repeater IR light to the reciever for my cheap-o Chinavision remote connected to my media center. It has worked flawlessly for all of this time. Well worth the investment. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sewell BlastIR SW-29311 Infrared (IR) Remote Control Receiver Kit (Black) - Sewell IR (Infrared) Extension Cable, 50 ft, Pure Copper, OFC, 24k Gold Plated SW-29727-50 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2033310-blastir-classic](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2033310-blastir-classic) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-29*
