After much shopping for IR systems, this one looked to be the most cost effective for my simple in-cabinet setup.

There is no lag going through the system, and it is simple to setup. Just be warned that the cord from the IR Sensor to the main unit is only 36 inches long, and doesn't unplug from the main unit. If you need a longer run, or need to fish it through a hole smaller than 1/4", you should look at other units.

I have to subtract a point since the manufacturer failed to include the mounting hardware. Smart Home is taking care of it, and has promised to ship the mounting hardware to me as soon as possible, or a replacement unit.

This kit is very easy to set up, cables are plenty long, and the components are small and easy to mount. This kit can control four in-cabinet devices, and is expandable for four more. If you want to hide a cable box, DVD player,etc. and don't know where to start, just buy this kit. But, unpack the items carefully or you may overlook the mounting "holsters", etc. that are in the bottom of the package under a small card.

set up was easy but despite being ir/plasma/sunlight proof (per manufacturer's website) it does not work very well. in the room it is about 15-20 feet from the main sitting area. you have to aim the remote (harmony 880 is what we are using) precisely at the eye or you get mixed results. by contrast, the xantech that we have in another room works flawlessly. i guess you get what you pay for.
