View Full Version : USB Infrared Extender
Hi there,
Does anyone know if a USB infrared extender will work on the Solo2?
My cabinet blocks the IR signal and need a cheap solution to extend the IR blaster (ideally one that doesn't require a power source)
Thanks.
Only can say whynot, it just retransmit signal and Vu+ not using any so special IR sequences.
I need one also, quickly checked Ebay, basic USB powered with 1 receiver + 4 transmitter was 8€ shipped (from China..)
UPDATE
Just tested a HP IR USB receiver and it didn't work.
Back to the drawing board I go.
The slx omni link will do it but it uses a mains power supply

You need extender/repeater, not receiver :)

If your TV set is Hdmi CEC capable,you can use your TV remote till you find extender.
You could get the VU+ app and use your phone. Works via the network so cabinet wont matter.
Just to update (and close this thread)
I bought this cheap jobby from China (
