This cool little device can pick up your remote's signal and rebroadcast to a different spot. The infrared part on the box is directly over the telephone sign on the box. The DVR can sense remotes from any angle in the room out to about 15 feet and in daylight.

Plug and play with Xbox Series X. It does as it is described. Installation is simple, the only thing they can be a little bit challenging is to find the infrared receiver spot on your device.

Once found, the transmitter uses adhesive to be stuck right over, the infrared receiver spot. Using the double sticky tape that comes with it, I located the receiver just above the radio, and the emitter near the face of the head unit. This will tell the TV that your pointing “directly” at the Tv each time!

So after a bit of experimentation, I glued the pickup to the front bezel of MIL's TV and the output to the side of the cable box. ". I've added a picture of this. The extender works best from about 10 feet and within a cone of about 45 degrees.

But now all my gear is behind the TV, so the room looks great. UPDATE: I spent some time locating exactly where the IR sensor on the DVR is, then made sure the emitter from this remote extender was placed exactly in front of that sensor, and moved the DVR closer to the emitter. Hope this info helps. I got this cause my husbands TV sound bar sits right at the bottom of the TV and I could never get it to turn on without standing back up.
