Sewell BlastIR Wireless Pro Receiver Only Remote Control Extender (IR Receiver),SW-32988-RX

I was skeptical about them but I have my new Bell reciever in my laundry room in the basement I put the emitter there and put a reciever in my garage and upper bedroom and it works amazing I set them to the same zone and 1 remote runs the house thinking about getting 1 more

I've now bought 4 sets of the Sewell Wireless Pro access Emitter / Receiver pairs plus a few extra Receivers (some direct from Sewell and some through Amazon). They're easy to install and working very well for me. I've attached the wired IR extension for each Receiver to the underside, front lip of each TV; mounting the receiver puck on the back of the TV or in an in-wall device box behind the TV. I attached the receiver pucks to their locations with the two-sided adhesive disc that comes with the unit and stuck the small rectangular wired IR extension heads with small cut rectangles of 3M's "Extreme" dual-sided mounting tape. Placing the IR extension heads in that fashion allow you to have users just point their remotes at the center of the TV which is the most natural behavior. I've used the extra receivers In places where more than one TV is connected to the same video source. All you have to do is set all associated Receivers to the same selectable code position as you set on the Transmitter (re-emitter) at the video source. I have had a minor issue controlling a garage TV where the Receiver is many feet - and multiple rooms and two exterior walls - away from the corresponding Transmitter's location. I resolved that issue by experimenting with moving Receiver and Transmitter mount locations to be less "enclosed" / blocked off by associated physical hardware and other bundled cables at their respective locations. Highly recommended. They're way easier than trying to use a hard-wired alternative.

Work ok but the adhesive for the sensors doesnt hold long. If using for an av receiver like me they are supposed to be stuck right over top of the receiver sensor. It stuck for 3 days. Then when it falls off it doesnt work til you restick it on. Could be better for the price. Other than that the unit and functionality is good.

So far, very frustrating. Zero instructions included and no videos on youtube either. The notes on the Amazon product page say you have contact Sewell to find out where the Pair button is. Emailed Sewell which says 3-5 days for reply. This should be EASY. Ugh! On the bright side, it's much smaller than I thought

works great with my Shaw/Rogers cable box. won't work with my Sony blue ray player and that's what I needed it for. go figure.
