This thing should not be sold

I read the mixed reviews of this device, but felt that my use was over such a short distance and so far within the posted specifications that it would work for me. I was wrong. I tried a variety of placements of both the sender and the receiver and tried several reomtes. They hardly worked at...

Does not work that well

I have my cable box behind a cabinet door with no window on it. I purchased the extender so I could still operate the cable box. I repositioned the receiver and transmitter several times. Sometimes it works properly and others it does not. Range also seems to be an issue. If I move more than 6...

works as advertised

I installed the units approx. a month ago. They work as advertised over a distance of ~30 feet and through two walls and one floor. All the remotes I use worked well. I found the transmitter had to be less than 5 feet from the controlled units but this may be do to the glass doors on my equipment...

Decent Product

Decent product, but sunlight and or distance seems to make it a little fickle, be willing to change the location of the receiver.

Plug it in -- it just works

A refreshing change from most software-heavy products these days which require at least 15 minutes of "configuration".Works great, no problems, used with Yamaha stereo/receiver.

Simple set up, functional, reliable - what's not to like?

Took about 5 minutes to set up. I'm flummoxed as to why anyone would have trouble setting up/using this. Plug the sending & receiving units in & attach the repeater(s). I'm using it to control the DirecTV DVR in the living room that feeds the signal in my bedroom - works flawlessly every time....

Very inconsistent performance

I have an older Terk LeapFrog at one house and wanted to install something similar at our vacation home. The older model doesn't appear to be available anymore so I figured this product would work as well (since it's made by the same company), if not better (since it's newer). I figured wrong....

Good up to 5 feet

Was hoping to get 50 feet out of these guy's. No luck. I was trying to go from downstairs to main floor, no luck. Product comes with everything needed though. If you are looking to put the 2 units very close to each other to hide your components, This is for you, if you are looking to go over...

Leapfrog review

The Terk tech. lf-irx remote control extender. is in my opinion a poor system if you wish to control a device with the IR recever across the room. My experience was as follows. At eight feet I got no response. at five feet I got about 10-15 percent response. When I placed the receiver on top of...
