So far it working flawless in my basement.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20500950 Sun, 18 May 2008 09:13:06 EDT Re: IR Eye for DVR? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20497721 GeekGirl1 : Any chance you could put a mirror in the path to catch a reflection from another direction? Also might work off a glass door from an equipment cabinet.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20497721 Sat, 17 May 2008 12:06:59 EDT Re: IR Eye for DVR? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20494467 bamse : Alright, thanks.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong(and I could very well be), but isn't that 1/8" jack in the back for if the DVR were able to control other devices, as in, if you had a VCR in your setup, you would plug the cord into the back of the DVR and put the other end in front of the VCR's IR receiver.

I know this is what the jacks were used for before STBs were DVRs.

As an alternative idea, somebody suggested this:

a few weeks back on the board. I don't know if it worked, but it might be worth a shot.
You are correct kes601, the manual from Motorola says that it is an output IR to control other device (ie. VCR).

I have the same situation with the coffee (and sometimes the dog) blocking the IR signals to the box. I don't have the option to install it high. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20493146 Fri, 16 May 2008 13:13:05 EDT Re: IR Eye for DVR? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20492956 AVITWeb : XANTECH makes an excellent product, try doing a search to see who might carry them.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20492956 Fri, 16 May 2008 12:40:03 EDT Re: IR Eye for DVR? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20491513 kes601 : Somebody correct me if I am wrong(and I could very well be), but isn't that 1/8" jack in the back for if the DVR were able to control other devices, as in, if you had a VCR in your setup, you would plug the cord into the back of the DVR and put the other end in front of the VCR's IR receiver.
