Scientific Atlantic (8300HD) IR extender?

Sorry Chase, Ive got the exact same issue. If you or anyone has a solution please share it. I don't see any inputs for an IR extender, is there any way to use the USB posts?

This is what we need (Cisco USB IR Extender)... this ↓ is a picture.



Where are they sold?

Okay... as of the time and date of this post, I have found 6 on Ebay (I already ordered mine )

Apparently they also make one that plugs in directly to the ir port in back. This one does not need the extra little eye on the recevier that the usb version uses.
Good luck finding it anywhere.

I have one for sale on ebay right now, brand new, the 25' length

I have Amino Aminet110 Set Top Box, and did I can use same USB IR Extender, and are all USB IR Extenders are universal for all STB?

i think that thay work with same tehnology ( USB connector is for power supply, IR cable who stay at STB is emiter of IR signals, and External cable is IR receiver). If i have right about this?

Thx you all.

The Scientific Atlantic (8300HD) IR extender is set-up to only work with the SA STB. Or at lest it didn't work with any of the other brands of equipment that I tried.

What USb IR Extender is for Amino STB??
or did any STB work with all STB?

THx

There are some of the Sci-Atl IR Extenders on sale at eBay right now. There are both the 12' and 25' versions.

Scientific Atlanta IR Extender 12' Part #1001807

Scientific Atlanta IR Extender 25' Part #4006725

Raising thread from the dead, my apologies.

Anyone have a 12' or 25' version of these for sale? eBay comes up empty and I can't locate any online resellers that carry them. Calling Cisco was a joke, I was told it's not a consumer product to be sold directly from Cisco and that I can try a local reseller in my area. They gave me a number to IBM which was for large scale business networking sales. So, here I am. Any help tracking one down would be appreciated. Again, sorry for the dead thread resurrection, figured it was easier than creating a new post.

Thanks

I have one, somewhere. Don't remember the length. Never used it, because it only controls the STB.

If you'd be up for selling it, please let me know via PM and I'd be happy to work something out with you.

Thanks

if anyone has one of these Cisco USB IR Extenders for sale let me know. I am interested to buy one. You can email me at peterkoutoulas@rogers.com

thanks

keep checking ebay. they always have a few on there. you need the one that plugs into the usb port on your receiver. the one that goes into the rca looking port on the back will not work. (been there done that)
they should look like this

i need one of these also for my Scientific Atlantic 4250 high def box
my box has the usb port

I have one of these cables (IR Extender 1001807). It is out of the box and has been used bit is in working condition.

If you are interested in purchasing, please contact me.

I am NOT a dealer

I have Brighthouse cable with two HD boxes, both SA 8300HD. Each box is hidden from view and required an IR extender, just like the ones being discussed here.

I stopped in at Brighthouse and told them I needed 2 IR extenders and they gave them to me free.

That might be better than ebay ?

Try your cable supplier (if you have one) and insist you get one for free.

I am interested in buying the ir extender for the scientific atlanta Explorer 8300HD. Do you still have it and does it work and if so what is your best price?

I just listed a 12' SA IR extender (1001807) for the Explorer 8300HD on ebay

Raising thread from the dead, (again). I'm looking for a SA IR extender for the explorer 8300HD in Canada. Please post if you have one available.
