If my tuner or cable box are behind the glass, will my remotes work?

I tried my remotes with the doors closed and open (Tuner and PS4). I didn't see any difference in how they responded.

I know these posts are old...but yeah, the remotes work with any of them. I mounted two of these behind a tv and a single click will control both. And some more info for anyone researching these, the remote does require line of site to the light emitting face of the bulb. I have mine facing upwards and the tv isn't mounted very high, so it's no issue, but if anyone plans on putting these facing up above a high cabinet or something, using the remote may be problematic....although if you are committed to it an IR extender may work....something I intend to try.

The wireless remote works via infra-red like your TV remote does. I've found that it will function through one of those tinted plastic stereo covers, but, mine will only work if I am oriented toward the radio face. I cannot, for example, use the remote to reliably control the radio if I am standing at the bow of my center console due to the radio's face orientation aft. Edit: This just popped in my head, but, you can probably use one of those IR repeaters common in home stereo and mount the receiver in a more conducive location.

I believe the remote requires line of sight to the optical splitter. Almost a year in, and working great :)

Not sure exactly what you are wanting to do. The remote will not control your tv. The avr remote does use standard IR technology. There are generic after market IR extenders that will allow you to control the avr behind a closed door. Many of these options are relatively cheap and completely universal plug and play. the avr has all on screen menus so you would not need to see the actual unit making this an ideal option for the setup I believe you are attempting.

Yes. Just follow the instuctions regarding which remote goes on which side so you don't un-program your working remote control.

Yes, your remote will still control your TV. However, the box will be controlled by remote we have to turn the dial

I use cable TV receiver, DVD player, and surround sound receiver remotes and they all work with the doors closed.

This would be attached to another device (like a Tivo recorder), which would in turn be controlling your DirecTV receiver. You would use a remote for the Tivo, which would then control the DirecTV receiver (to change the channels). As long as the Tivo is able to receive commands from the remote, the Tivo would pass the signal through this cable to the IR sensor on your DirecTV box. The Tivo would have to be visible, but the DirecTV box would not. This would NOT, however, allow you to just hide your cable box and keep using it. For that you need to find an RF-based remote. Pretty sure DirecTV will be happy to sell/lease you RF-based remotes and receivers for a bit more money, then you won't have line-of-sight issues and can control the device through walls or with a closed media center door in the way. You may be able to find some kind of converter that receives RF signals from an RF remote and converts them to IR signals through a cable like this, but that's really starting to jury-rig your entertainment system.

This remote is designed to power on/off all brands of TV's, control volume, change channels. I do not believe it will work any cable boxes. So Yes it will still work your TV no mater where your cable comes from but you will need a separate remote to work your cable box.

You may be able to use the external sensor that came with the unit and see if it will pick up the remote. Mine worked fine out of the box, but if something is blocking the sensor on the front of the unit, you will have to use the external one. Hope that helps

If all the components are in the same cabinet you probably won't need the remote senders. I have a divider between two stacks of components in my cabinet and the blaster signal is strong enough to reflect off the glass cabinet doors and get to equipment on the other side of the divider. I only needed the remote sender on the TV which is on top of my cabinet. Without that one, I had to aim the remote at the TV.

Don't know. Mine gets turned on by something in the environment close to me, but haven't figured out what. Shouldn't be a problem getting a remote to work with it unless there is something wrong with the RX/TX on the TV itself. Good luck!

Yes, I have two units one at 418mhz and one at 433mhz. They are both located inside cabinets. I can aim the remote in any direction and it will work.

Yes it will, just make sure u find the a open station and connect it and go, the remote works ok but not from distance, but all programs Music related all will owkr

Make sure you have your TV input source on the same one your box is connected to

No. You remotes will work with the new receiver. Just run the code process with one of the remotes and all others will work.
