Hot Link XL is for controlling hidden home theater equipment far away from your television viewing area. The most universal and compatible, infrared, IR remote control booster system for IR remote control repeating. The Hot Link XL IR Eye is so sensitive it does not need direct line of site and can in fact be hidden from view and still give you more freedom to roam with your remote controls.

Fantastic Product with Great Customer Support
I was very weary of the claims this product makes, but it actually does work and works well. I used the MicroSmith Hotlink so that I can store my home theatre system and Tivo a full 30 feet away in another room and still use the remotes. More >>

The best remote extender hands down
There are only good things to be said of the Hot Link XL!

The small and modular components, save the blue LED operation indicator, can be installed out of sight and out of mind keeping your components neat and tidy. More >>

Works Like a Charm
When we renovated a new house I took over an entry closet next to the living room and turned it into a media closet. All the electronics are racked and the plasma is ten feet away hanging on the wall. More >>

Fantastic product!
I tried the Terk and Radio Shack IR repeaters first. They both worked ok for a while then stopped working all together. More >>
