I have a cable box that has a jack for an IR remote input. I would like to use that so I can "hide" the box from line of sight. Is the emitter what I am looking for - I thought it would be a receiver??

Accepted Answer

It doesn't work like that, I thought the same but I am still not clear as to how it works. I believe you need put the repeater over the sensor, plug it into a separate box that sits in view of the remote and the box plugs into the jack in the back of the cable box. but not completely sure.
