Greetings,
I just purchased an IR repeater so I could hide my components ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BLTDZA/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2C_ST1_dp_1 ).
I'm having an issue with range for only my cable DVR (Explorer 8642HDC/Brighthouse Networks). I'm using the default remote control (Atlas OCAP-5).
It works great from about 5 to 8 feet away, but I need it to work from 10' or more. It worked fine before I installed the repeater. I'll add that my other component worksjust fine (using the same Atlas OCAP-5). I'm perplexed.
I am using a 55" plasma, so I thought it might be interference, but why would my other component (Sony home theater) work fine? The IR Receiver is mounted on the right bezel of the TV. I can move it away from the TV if I need be, but the way my setup is it will not look very good, and I'm not convinced interference is to blame as when I press a VOL related button on this remote, the IR Receiver flashes all blue and it works. Nada when changing channels or other CBL functions, etc... (again, from about 9'+ away - works great nearby). Any advice?
Thanks!
Dominic
