Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of STICK-ON IR EMITTER BY SMARTHOME ( 8170S )
Customer Review: Does what it says
Summary: 5 Stars
As already stated, this works fine as a replacement for the TiVo IR cable.
4 days ago I didn't even know what an IR cable was until I started trying to add a Time Warner digital cable box to my TiVo setup. When the TiVo setup program demanded that I plug in an IR cable so it could change channels on the cable box, I was surprised as hell. I'm sure I threw my original cable away 5 years ago, not even knowing what it was. Even more surprisingly, brick & mortar electornics stores like Best Buy (who even sells TiVos) don't carry replacement cables.
So I consulted the Googles, read about IR emitters, and found this one which I ordered with express delivery. 2 business days later my TiVo and cable box are playing well together.
Basically this cable plugs into your TiVo "IR Out" jack, and you tape the other end on the front glass of the cable box where it normally picks up signals from your remote control. The TiVo setup program will run through a whole gamut of tests to make sure it can change channels on the cable box through this cable, and whammo, you can start using the TiVo remote to control everything. There IS a slight delay between pressing the TiVo remote buttons, and the cable box channel actually changing.. maybe 3-4 seconds. But that's the price you pay for using TiVo with a cable box.
