Cables To Go Double IR EMITTER

When Microsoft chose to start offering the Xbox one without the Kinect, I was overjoyed... easy way to save $100 on a peripheral I didn't need. My understanding was that I could still enjoy all of the media hub features for Xbox One without the Kinect, I just needed a special cable called an IR emitter. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Microsoft didn't sell one, or officially recommend one. And of course no one at the Microsoft store, no one at GameStop, and no one on the Xbox forums I searched had any suggestions for me.So after some self-education, I rolled the dice and bought this baby. And let me just say, I could not be happier. So for all you Xbox One owners out there who want to be able to control your TV, cable box, or sound system through your Xbox media remote or SmartGlass application, I am here to unofficially recommend this cable for you.The two red nodes function individually. If you want your Xbox to be able to communicate with your piece of electronics, the red node at the end needs to be positioned in front of it with a CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT. I found that for my setup, I needed to separate them (i.e. - physically pull them apart at their seam) to allow this to happen. Each node has a small piece of adhesive under it, if you wish to permanently place it somewhere.I set mine up with one node in front of my cable box, and the other in front of my TV and soundbar. I can change volumes, mute via my Xbox media remote or Smartglass app. The TV is plugged into the HDMI-in on the Xbox one, so I can change channels and use the OneGuide to view upcoming programming. AKA = I can do everything Kinect owners can do with my remote, minus the voice controls. Done deal.After several months of constant use, I can happily say that this cable has helped delivered the experience I was hoping for with my new Xbox.

This IR blaster worked perfectly with my Uverse Cable box and LG TV. For the price you can't wrong if you are looking to use your Xbox One as your all one one entertainment center. The cable itself was quite long, but there is a plastic which only allows the two blaster cables to split about half the length. But it was plenty long enough to have one in front of my tv and the other in front of my Uverse Box which is about 4-5 feet from the TV with my Xbox in between the two.The IR itself seems to work great for both the volume and power control to my tv and changing channels on the Uverse box.Definitely recommended for the Xbox One!

I needed two extra ir blasters for my Logitech Harmony Smart Control remote, this looked to fit my needs. The length is great, you can pull back and separate the cable for a few feet to go to separate devices. My primary issue was that the plug is too big to fit in the second port of the harmony hub. The solution is to purchase a 2.5mm mono male to 3.5mm mono female adapter, it cost a few dollars at my local RadioShack. After connected, everything is now working as expected.

I picked this up to go with a new Xbox One. It is our second Xbox One in the house but the first one had Kinect so I didn't need an IR emitter to control the cable/tv.Installing it on the X1 was easy as it just plugs into the back of the Xbox. My Xbox was able to auto recognize my TV and my Cable box somehow so I didn't need to enter any codes. So far, just a few days now, it has worked flawlessly.Anybody considering this for their Xbox One should be good. It works fine on mine.

This product was cheapest out of all the ones offered so I went with it. So far I've had it for about a month and it works fine. It does get the job done (as far as making my Tivo and Cable box work together properly.) One issue is the little stickies it came with to stick it to your cable box don't work at all. I went through all of them because after a day it would keep falling off. So now, I have it stuck to my cable box with a piece of tape over it. Works, but doesn't look very nice! Other than that, it's fine. I hope it doesn't stop working like other people have complained about. If it does I'll post another review.

The Emitters I was shipped do not match the picture on the product page.(1) My emitters are more rectangular. They also have a serious design flaw: the LEDs either are not bright enough or are point in the wrong direction. These emitters come with small adhesive pads so you can affix them directly to the IR port on your TV/cable box, but this simply does not work. The LEDs point off to the side, not down towards the IR receiver, and the LEDs do not seem to be bright enough to overcome this.The only way I could get them to work was by holding the rounded front of the emitter directly against the IR port on my cable box. This is of course not how the emitters are designed, so the included adhesive (which is already pretty lousy) is worse than useless. Darkening the room, blocking any sunlight, and taping over the emitter all failed, the only thing that worked was holding the front of the emitter directly against the sensor.I gave the product two stars instead of one because it technically does function, but not at all as advertised. See this guy's review for pictures of the design change:(1) http://www.amazon.com/review/RUAJ22GYMTFA5/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B001BBMVRC
