Product Description
Hot Link Pro completes your home theater system with a super slim-line infrared eye!The Hot Link patented system constantly monitors the ambient light and noise floor. In darker ambient light it becomes more sensitive to remote control pulses, making the eye the most sensitive it can be based on ambient light environment. When the eye is in a "hidden" location behind a speaker grill, tucked up in a toe-kick or in a door slot it compensates for the expected loss in distance by becoming more sensitive to the pulses emitted from remote controls. Get great remote control roaming freedom, and enhanced beauty of your home theater.

 Worked perfect March 10, 2010
Bubba
This thing works great. Stuck the receiver behind my LED TV and then just mounted the IR transmitters inside my cabinet door (partially laziness and partially so I didn't have to connect each transmitter on the device and have more wire mess). The thing worked great on first shot with my U-Verse (Motorola) box, Sony receiver, LG DVD player & Sony CD changer.
Exactly what I wanted... March 10, 2010

I purchased this item to replace a Cables To Go Remote Repeater (model 40430) which had died on me after six months. But having used the Hot Link Pro System and the Cables To Go, I can offer a fair comparison. Its really night and day in my opinion. With the Hot Link system we can sit anywhere in the room and operate the remote to control our equipment (which sits inside a cabinet with closed doors), it does not require direct line of sight. This is a very different experience that with the Cables To Go which required direct line of site which often required pointing the remote directly at the sensor. A couple other points: both systems are very easy to setup and the sensor with the Hot Link System, because it does not require direct line of sight, can be placed in less obvious and noticable locations. One setup item that was slightly confusing was placing the sensor in a location where it did not have interference from the TV. The LED indicator lights up a continuous blue if there is interference, but once I figured out that you have to cover part of the sensor to avoid the interference it was no problem at all (if I had read the instructions first it would have been even easier to figure this out.)
This is a more expensive option than the Cables To Go unit that I replaced, but definitely worth the extra money.
 Does what it needs to do. February 24, 2010

Great piece of equipment. Does what it needs to. Construction could be a bit better. I stuck the emitters on the equipment and then had to re-arrange some things and when I pulled them off the plastic casing around the emitters came apart. I was able to superglue it back together and it still worked fine. Placement of the receiver is key to good operation. Took me a couple hours to try different angles but now I can use my Harmony and all the other equipment remotes from anywhere in my living room, dining room, and kitchen.
Purchase of two Hot Link Pro fits from Amazon February 22, 2010

Excellent product with superb service. I read many of the reviews especially the one that was critical of hooking up a Sony XBR 52" to AtT Universe, which was identical to one of the two sets we have needing Hot Link. Thanks to discussions with Marcus and looking for the location of the signal on the att remote which was different on each remote, we now have everything working to our complete satisfaction.Thanks again, Marcus, for all the help and personal attention.
Perfect! Does exactly what it's supposed to do, and a snap to set up. February 17, 2010

I got this as a birthday gift, and boy am I glad! I was able to set this puppy up in about 10 minutes and it immediately did what it was supposed to do with no tweaking. My only (minimal) complaint is that the 6 infrared transmitters are are all attached as a single ribbon cable, and you have to pull them apart. The individual wires are quite thin and delicate, and although I didn't break any while separating them, I could see how it would be easy to. Still, it didn't happen to me, and this is a "set & forget" type of device, so two thumbs up!
