 Works very well, good price. Jul 27, 2007
By RandyB
"RB"
After much shopping for IR systems, this one looked to be the most cost effective for my simple in-cabinet setup.
There is no lag going through the system, and it is simple to setup. Just be warned that the cord from the IR Sensor to the main unit is only 36 inches long, and doesn't unplug from the main unit. If you need a longer run, or need to fish it through a hole smaller than 1/4", you should look at other units.
I have to subtract a point since the manufacturer failed to include the mounting hardware. Smart Home is taking care of it, and has promised to ship the mounting hardware to me as soon as possible, or a replacement unit.

 Very user friendly--complete & versatile kit. Dec 29, 2007
By C. LEARY
This kit is very easy to set up, cables are plenty long, and the components are small and easy to mount. This kit can control four in-cabinet devices, and is expandable for four more. If you want to hide a cable box, DVD player,etc. and don't know where to start, just buy this kit. But, unpack the items carefully or you may overlook the mounting "holsters", etc. that are in the bottom of the package under a small card.

 ok Jul 13, 2009
By A. Arumugham
"Akilan"
set up was easy but despite being ir/plasma/sunlight proof (per manufacturer's website) it does not work very well. in the room it is about 15-20 feet from the main sitting area. you have to aim the remote (harmony 880 is what we are using) precisely at the eye or you get mixed results. by contrast, the xantech that we have in another room works flawlessly. i guess you get what you pay for.

Works perfectly for hiding all componets behind cabinets May 26, 2009
By John Alpine
"Just John"
Does exactly what I hoped it would do, eliminated the need to expose my cable, DVD and HD Receiver in my living room. Instead everything is tucked inside a wood cabinet with the tiny little IR receiver on the corner of the cabinet door as only visible part of the system. Was as simple to install as claimed and nicely expandable to more components.

Tops in its field Mar 06, 2009
By J. Weeks
I bought this to replace a Xantech 2500 IR receiver I bought about three years ago(my first such purchase). It never worked very well, and when it finally died I decided to gamble on a different product.
There aren't a lot of manufacturers to choose from, but after a month I can say I''m 100% pleased with the Channel Vision receiver. It's very inconspicuous, and I believe it responds faster and more accurately than the old one.
Some reviewers on Amazon noted it had a narrow operating range, but I've found the opposite to be true-by comparison to my old receiver.
In summary, I think this is a good value, and my shipping/delivery process was flawless.
