Product Review (submitted on January 29, 2017):

This product is fabulous. Been looking for years for this exact thing! If you are having difficulty, be patient, you can get it to work for your setup (there are always exceptions to the rule, but largely I believe most complaints are not the fault of the product not working but the inability of the user to troubleshoot). That said, I will do my best to help make it easier for some based on my painful, unnecessary learning curve. It was the support of others here that helped me after I blindly struggled myself!!I am one of those people that does not constantly buy the latest technology, so I have a mishmash of equipment; 720p Samsung TV, Tivo Premiere, A/V Receiver with Optical output (yamaha) that is hooked to my Bose stereo speakers. So all but my stereo has HDMI IMPUT. As of last night, I got my TIVO Remote paired to the Transmitter Unit. Got my TIVO paired last weekend to Receiver TV. ALL, I repeat, ALL are fully working.So here are some pointers:1) Scrap the limited instructions that came with the equipment! Go to Nyrius.com/Support to get specific step by step instructions on pairing the transmitter to the receiver based on the model# you have (this would have saved me 8 hrs of playing around)2) Make sure your cable box (mine is TIVO w/card) is set to the lowest hi-def screen on the tv's you are using. In my case 720p, even though my bedroom has 1080.3) Your HDMI cables MUST be 1.3 at least! If yours are old, go get new ones. I had one in the closet I grabbed that was never used but old. When I paired there was picture but no sound with the old HDMI. At store, nothing clearly said 1.3. But basically it is 1080p, I just got the 1.4 since I was spending the money, which is up to 4K!These 3 things should get you paired with picture and sound.Now the remote features, so you can most likely use your source TV remote at the receiver TV room:4) If you have a universal remote, most Hi-Def cable boxes do (again go to Nyrius.com/Support to get specific step by step instructions to do this), and if it doesn't pair right away, you will need to re-setup your remote, just like you did the 1st time you got it (I learned this the hard way). In my case, TIVO remote. Forget plugging in numbers to find your receiver etc...I went to TIVO.com and found step by step instructions on pairing my remote with my system with the up/down channel button on my remote (it has more codes programmed into the remote than in the books). Not only does control now work in the receiver room, but a feature on my main TV is working that never did before, volume up and down! Until now, I didn't even know there was a different way to program my remote besides the onscreen menu etc.5) Currently I have my transmitter output plugged directly into my main TV. I am probably going to change that based on what others have said. I am going to put a certified hi-def splitter before the transmitter so that my main TV has TIVO going directly into it vs through the transmitter box for a couple of reasons; a) the less unnecessary pass-thru's the better quality you get. b) I'm not taxing the receiver use any more than necessary.I am a very happy camper right now!! I am not an IT person, just an ordinary person who has learned to figure techie things out through the yrs at a basic level out of necessity! My knowledge has come from trial and error & always a learning curve with new technologies. I hope I have helped you some & made it a more pleasant experience! Once set up, you will just LOVE this.
