Does anyone know of a way to extend or boost the remote control signal as my unit does not respond at any great distance? Thanks

The only thing that might help is to mount the controller higher, and make sure its away from other electrical wires, florescent lights or anything that might cause signal interference.

My remote works approximately 100' from the unit. If you are getting significantly less then that, you may have some RF shielding close to the unit. Move the unit away from any large or metal grounded structures or equipment such as metal garage doors, water heaters, HVAC units, etc.

standard hdmi cables are not designed to carry a signal very far. I used monoprice hdmi cables with redmere technology and they work perfectly. Up to 60 feet without a signal booster. And they are dirt cheap when compare them to top quality hdmi cables from just a few years ago. I would try using a short input cable and short output cable ( under 9' ) if it works that way, replace your cables. If it doesn't work then maybe you have a bad splitter.

Try placing it in another location. It may not be getting the signal where you have it.

1) Make sure the unit is powered. Once you plug it in, it should light up. 2) Make sure your remote is being received. (i.e. when you hit a button, the led light should flash). 3) If the first two work, then be sure that the ir sender is placed directly over the ir receiver. Originally, I had mine in the wrong location (and it still worked). It wasn't until I connected a second device that it then began to work. 4) The unit can control two seperate devices. Does one device work and the other does not? If so, switch the IR sender to determine if the working device will still work. If so, then the extender is not the issue. Chances are that the location on the non-working device was incorrect. I realize these are probably obvious to most, but it's all I could think of for now. Rather simple device. I have heard that if you "kink" the cord, then it may not work properly as they can be delicate.

Hi Bob- thanks for posting on here. I followed your instructions with my comcast remote and I am able to get power and volume down on the comcast remote but no volume up (super frustrating). Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks so much in advance for your help.

One issue was resolved with a quick call to Peerless tech. I connected transmitter to DirecTV then out to Yamaha receiver. Picture/sound flickered on/off. I had to connect transmitter after AV receiver, not before. Works great, and now any device connected to my receiver (BluRay, CD, VCR) is transmitted to remote TV. Putting transmitter inside cabinet reduced signal, but placing it as close to receiver as possible, receiving signal is 4 bars (highest) even through 2 walls and on another floor.

Had the same issue with 2 LG tv's in the same room not being controlled independently. Your idea worked to perfection. Though much harder with some remotes as it seems they shoot a signal everywhere. I had to use a smaller (pen sized) hole, but worked great. Thanks for saving the day Shoe!

I'm sorry I misunderstood. I am using my siren with a transmitter an door sensor. I have mounted my siren 35ft from transmitter. I 'm not using the remote.

I have the same situation I sit about 30-40 ft away from the tower and it is on the other side of the wall the range worked spotty. However I got a ups extent ion cable and ran it thru the wall with my hdmi cable that went to the tv and it works fine.

This remote control has very short working distance. About 3 meter maybe...I have same trouble.

My remote was dead out of the box. I will receive a replacement in 8-10 business days once the product is in stock (they currently have.. none, wonder why?).That said, my comcast universal remote will operate the device except for the menu. Distance is not an issue with my universal remote - I think all the talk about distance is because the original remote is worthless.

If you installation is good - good coax and connectors, I would say there is nothing you can do, other than raise it higher off the ground. I sent mine back.

We just tested ours last night for you, the camera inside the house and myself with the monitor outside. I reached about 200' before I ran out of signal. At the 180' area it would work intermittently.

Look for a wireless booster for your signal, if you can string up a LAN cable it's much better and faster. Cheers

Sounds like the receiver and the remote are not communicating.Sorry I can not help...

I agree, the reception from the remote is pretty bad. I don't have a distance problem, but I do seem to need to have the right angle. I would look into a universal remote if it bothers you that much. Logitech has some nice models. Good luck.

Sorry, my garage is attached to my house so I'm not really qualified to answer that question. I know my regular remote (in my car) works well past 70 feet. Probably double that.
