Does anyone know if these work with a Pace cable box (DC550DR is the model)? Monoprice brand units wouldn't work. Discontinued RCA IR extenders do.

this is an IR extender device. Any IR signal that goes into it on one and will be replicated on the other. It does not know or care what manufacturer or remote the signal comes from. It is a dumb device in this instance. That is the best thing about it.there is no i_r device on the planet that it will not work with.if it doesn't work with any particular IR device, then it's either broken or the user set it up wrong.

Not sure about your specific products but it is not true that all IR extenders wore with all IR remotes There are some cable boxes that work in an IR freq range that is not always covered - most products work together but I went through all this a year or so ago and verified some systems are not compatible - had to do a lot of work to get the freq coverage

I'm not familiar with the Pace DC550DR cable box, but if it is operated by an IR remote, it should work with no problem. The X10 Powermid is not selective to any brand remote as long as it is an IR remote. You may want to check the distance between the sender and receiver unit. I don't remember how far the signal will go, but the spec sheet should give you that info.

I know you've found your answer, but my code was one of the ones for RCA (10047 on my cable box/dvr remote). I plan on getting a harmony remote up and running. Does that have a dedicated code for it/work well in your hands?

It does not work with Time Warner Scientific Atlanta cable box, but never tried it with Dish. I believe that most of the cable boxes work at a different IR frequency. By now the manufacturer should have a list of units that work with the device, check with them.

I have a run much longer than that but what I used was a HDMI to cat5 or cat6 converter this worked well for me. Works up to 100' if you use cat6 cable for the longer run. These were just over $20 + the cat5 or cat6 cables.

I wound up using these, but note- you have to use them in pairs- http://www.skywalker.com/Products/Element-Hz-CATV-Coax-Signal-Extender-over-Cat5e6-(Pair)__ELE7026.aspx

Hi. You can install a rca to coax adapter and simply crimp a RG59 coax fitting on one end of your cctv cable then you will need the cctv coax fitting on the dvr side. Another easy way would be to run a rca to cat5 adapter and you can use the extra leads/wires for the 12vblazing power. Amazon carries the cat5 to cctv adapter too. Good luck

It works great with any remote and reciever that uses infra red. will only work as far as the wire will extend, all my gear (xbox360, Cisco HD box, Yamaha reciever) are in an enclosed cabinet in the next room. works no problem.

It depends... Straight to a cable box with a IR input it will work. But to a IR emitter it didn't work for me. Too long.

They will work with any security DVR that has the standard BNC connections. Most systems that I have seen have these types of connectors, but I'm sure there are systems out there with differing connectors. Possibly RCA jacks like some of the less expensive cameras use.

I have extended the IR receiver with standard stereo 3/5mm cables and it works fine. The IR emitters only use two wires and the 3.5mm plugs are slightly different (they only have two contact surfaces on the plug instead of 3). Some work and some do not. I recommend getting 3.5mm MONO cables to extend the IR emitters.

I have my 60 inch Samsung and have a Samsung IR plugged in to the tv. My cable box, receiver and all other stuff are in a closet 15ft away... I purchased a 12ft 3.5 male to female audio extension cable which works fine with the Samsung IR and that sends the signal to my tv remote to control the cable box and the volume... So I barely use the receiver remote... If I do want to change something I'd use the app on my phone or ipad...

I have just purchased 2 of these to try with the slingbox. If my wiring in the house is hooked up to work with these,my slingbox should work,or at least that's what netgear customer service told me. I will post an answer on here after I receive,and install these,and my slingbox.

I believe that these will only work with the revo dvr system. They use cat 5 hook ups not the typical coaxial ones.

Yes. My DirecTV receivers are all five years-old but work flawlessly with the IR repeater.

I Doubt it. I didn't try a simple Balun - rather I used the powered Tripp Lite B126-1A1 HDMI Over Cat5 Active Extender Kit TAA/GSA and I can assure you that it doesn't work with that. However that particular HDMI extender is great since the sending end has an integrated HDMI Splitter. These IR extenders do work over a simple HDMI Cable. Knowing that they use the CAT 5 Pairs like a Power over Ethernet injector does I suspect it will not work with a simple Balun also since the differential signals across the pairs are cancelled out in transformers (Baluns). There are active extenders that also include IR Extender features - like the Monoprice 110224 or Monoprice HDMI w/Ethernet & IR Extender Over Cat5e/Cat6 Cable. Also if you simply want to extend the IR independently there are lots of other choices.

All this device does is extend you existing IR remote through walls or other obstructions and allows whatever device the Monoprice receiver is sitting next to to be controlled by aiming your remote at the Monoprice transmitter. It works with anything as long as it uses IR [Infra Red] technology.

I do not know. In my case, I was desperate to get a remote receiver. I bought this on the hope that it would work with my DVR cable box. It did not. I can't fault the supplier or Amazon, as my box was not listed as one of the compatible units. As I said, I took the gamble hoping that it would work. My suggestioin would be this, if your unit is not listed, it probably will not work.
