AWESOME! Worth every penny! The X-10 systems works nicely. However, it has started picking up stray RF signals and randomly changing the cable box channels on us. from Crutchfield.com This is the FOURTH of these power extenders we have purchsed.----Obviously, we think they work great and do the job! We just keep adding on and on and on! from Crutchfield.com We use the X-10 Powermind to control our FIOS STB, which is located on the first floor, from the second floor bedroom directly above STB. We never watch TV in both locations at the same time so why pay 9.95 a month for another STB? from Crutchfield.com The Powermid worked exactly as advertised, and was unobtrusive enough to allow us to position the transmitter mostly behind the TV, with only the sensor exposed. Nonetheless, the sensor was easily hit by the remote beam. from Crutchfield.com Works as expected. My cable box and DVD player are now hidden away out of sight. The only disadvantage of this product compared to the more expensive and harder to install IR extender systems, is the relatively large footprint of the pyramid transmitter and receiver. If you want something that will be completely hidden, it's worth looking into those other IR extender systems. from Crutchfield.com Great device works exactly how its suppose to. I have all my equipment in a closet and every time I use any component the X-10 transmits signals flawlessly. Crutchfield shipping and advise from sales adviser was excellent. from Crutchfield.com We have troubleshot this extensively. (I got a new cable box--different type--and it still does it. I tried disconnecting all powermid receivers and it still does it--so the problem is the transmitter. I've tried moving the tranmitter to the other side of the cabinet--about 4 feet away--and it still does it. from Crutchfield.com i use it currently to control my amp, ipod, tv, sacd player, dvd player. from Crutchfield.com i am in the habit of pointing my remote at the tv when ever i want to do anything and the transmitter, which is about 5 feet to the left of my tv, still picked up everything. from Crutchfield.com since we only use it when outside, i just turn the inside receiver unit so it isn't facing the tv system when we are inside. from Crutchfield.com
