Product Description
Effectively change your infrared remote to a more powerful radio-frequency signal.
How It Works
NextGen includes rechargeable batteries which slide into RF transmitters, to fit the standard AAA battery compartment on your existing remote. An adaptor is also included for AA compartments.
Replace one of your remote's batteries with this device, and it picks up the hint of radio-frequency signals emitted by IR remotes, amplifies it, and sends it to the base station. The base station emits the IR signal, effectively turning your IR remote into a long-range RF model.
The base station has a built-in charger for powering up the custom batteries. Brilliant, effective, and effortless.
Product Description
The Results
This device lets you go from room-to-room and control your components from up to 100 + feet away, with no direct line-of-sight needed. It even works through closet doors and closed entertainment system cabinets.
Unlike other remote control extenders, there's no need to attach anything to the front of your remote, or to be limited to using it in one room. And by simply installing extra battery transmitters you can convert as many remotes as you like--works with virtually every remote control.
What's in the Box
Remote Extender Base Station, Two 2/3 AAA Rechargeable Batteries, Power Supply. 3 and 6 eye emitters, a stand alone USB charger, and additional transmitters are also available but sold separately.

Followup (12/11/2011) - living in an apartment building in Manhattan has its own quirks; among them is finding someone else in your line that also seems to have a NexGen. After several months of using all of a sudden we experienced our TV changing changing channels by itself - it just seemed to develop a life of its own This phenomena included shutting itself off. Fortunately, I had purchased both a 433 and a 418 to operate in the same apartment and just switched them and that seemed to solve the problem. Apparently the range of these devices is such that it easily penetrates solid granite walls/floors (we live in an old building - no sheetrock here to speak of).
My only recommendation for NExGen would be to have the ability to switch frequencies on one device and perhaps even offer more then the two frequencies just in case they are so successful that there are multiple installations in the same area.
Update (September 1, 2014). The "saucer" purchased above died! Lasted approximately 40 months. Just got my new one from Amazon, set it up in 10 minutes and back in business. Working like a charm. Some have claimed planned obsolescence and, if that is the case, this still is a great value. I'll update my review if there are any changes with the three others that I have purchased for my weekend home, but I stand by my original review and it is well worth the money. Just a word of caution, make sure you have the right setting for your cable provider (mine are Time Warner and Cablevision). You have to open the battery compartment and move the slider to make sure the saucer talks to your cable box. TWC and Cablevision use the "C" setting.
Also, if you need customer service from the manufacturer - don't waste your time. It is a huge hole into which your correspondence goes and no answer - ever. If it doesn't work buy another one or just send it back. At this price it is a no brainer since it works so well and avoids drilling and setting wires, etc.
Update #2 - 03/17/2020
So after abandoning my "saucer" about 3 years ago, because I had multiple TV's on multiple saucers and I couldn't get them to synch right I just came back and started using it again. My old one from about 5 years ago. In the interim I had tried many different options and none worked particularly well, but I settled on the Sewell IRBlaster. That worked pretty well except for the really annoying lag when playing back from the DVD - controlling fast forward/rewind, etc was very annoying and the lag was significant. Anyway, I plugged the saucer in, charged the batteries and the next day I was back in business. No lag, perfect. My set up is in a closet about 20 feet from the TV in my MBR and the signal has to travel through a set of walls to be received, which it does very well. Simple solution for not a lot of money.
NB. The best overall solution is the Sewell InjectIR, it extends the signal from your remote control by sending the remote control's IR (infrared) signal over your HDTV's existing HDMI cable. I couldn't use it on my MBR TV because unfortunately it s a component set-up that is rigged into a HDMI cable (don't ask). Anyway, I just completed a very expensiveness LR tv installation and the vendor had recommend the Harmony wi-fi remote. The vendor said it would solve my problems, no lag, works on my own wi-fi, blah, blah. Well the damn thing kept losing the connection, had to be reset constantly, when it didn't work the remote said to use the iPhone app until it repaired it self. Using it is very complicated and not as easy as either my Sony remote or the cable tv remote. For $250 I was really annoyed, especially since my wife kept saying I told you so. So I ripped the set-up out and replaced it with $55 InjectIR and voila seamless operation with a 5 minute installation (not set-up). This was the 4th one I have used and it really is exceptional. Just saying.
BTW installation is a breeze, plug it in one end of your HDMI at the cable box and then plug it in the other end at the TV. That's it. Use your own remote.
I primarily intended to use this with a Harmony 768 universal remote (4xAAA) and, once I figured out the idiosyncrasies, it has worked great & how I'd hoped; from anywhere in my apartment on more than a dozen components that make up my complex system, and with just as quick and reliable a response as with the direct original remotes. I don't even need to extend the telescoping antenna on the receiver (RF-receiver/IR-relay), and just lay it horizontally flat against the "saucer", which is placed in an inconspicuous location with nearby line-of-sight to my IR components.
Although I don't need the "eye extender" cable (since I have no components hidden in cabinets or out of line-of-sight for the receiver), I did test it. I was surprised how well it worked even from several feet from component IR sensors, regardless of its directional orientation. I imagine that the optional "triple-eye" accessory, selectively oriented in a cabinet rather than attached directly to individual sensors, could probably emit enough IR to control quite a bit more than 3 components & maybe as many as a dozen? Even an optimally placed single-eye could possibly supplement the receiver if there were several components in the same location but out of direct line-of-sight from the receiver.
Cons and idiosyncrasies:
It comes in plastic "bubble"-container packaging. Fortunately, the package edges can be peeled apart without requiring a "machete" or damaging the product, but it still can't be fully resealed. Of course this style packaging makes it unlikely you'd be able to return it if it didn't work out for you, which is a major reason manufacturers use these insidious packages.
It can be a bit quirky, depending on the remote with which it's used. I tested it with close to 20 original remotes as well as several universal remotes, AAA & AA battery usage. Most worked just fine, but I experienced the following issues:
- Harmony 768, universal remote (4xAAA); sensitive to which battery location for the transmitter (lower 2 battery chambers, farthest from 768's IR emitters, seem to work best); on occasion it suddenly stopped working until I spun the transmitter a bit inside the battery chamber - whether this was due to poor contact or an orientation issue, I don't know.
- HTM MX-500, universal remote (4xAAA); no response from the receiver, & with transmitter/battery in slot "1" the remote doesn't even "turn on" (ie, can't be used with this universal remote.)
- Mitsubishi HS-HD2000U, D-VHS (2xAA); no response on the receiver or otherwise when used with the original remote *OR* with the Harmony 768 sending HS-HD2000U commands (ie, won't control this component - A/B/C settings on the receiver made no difference.)
Other:
- be sure to observe the feedback LED on the receiver. If it responds to your remote, you're likely good to go. (I first tested this with the Harmony 768, and until I determined its idiosyncrasies, had *no* response. I can see how someone could quickly conclude this doesn't work.)
- some components don't respond as well (or even at all for one of my components) when both the remote's IR and the receiver's IR is beamed to the component at the same time. When I'm in a line-of-sight location with the remote, I have much better response when I point the remote away or cover its IR, restricting it to sending RF to the receiver. When I'm *not* in a line-of-sight location with the remote, it makes no difference where I point it, as I'd expect with RF transmission.
- The receiver's IR beam strength & coverage seems typical to other IR remotes. If you're using receiver line-of-sight rather than via directly attached "eye(s)", it may take a bit of trial and error to find the best convenient receiver placement location and direction to operate all your system components.
- the receiver's power adaptor *may* have to be plugged to a different outlet to avoid interference from other components plugged to a power strip.
- The aspect ratio of the Amazon product-image is width-stretched (actual "saucer" seems smaller than perceived from the Amazon image); you'll see the proper proportion in images at the NGHP web-site.
- I primarily use NiMH rechargeable batteries on my remotes, but wherever I ran into issues I also tried using standard alkalines. Battery type never made any difference in my testing results and all had full charges.
- check the NGHP web-site FAQs, where it recommends such things as charging the batteries 24-36 hours before using the 1st time (which I did for these test results.) You *may* find that the mini-battery charges somewhat faster when it's in its dedicated charge slot than when in the charge slot for the combined mini-battery/transmitter.
- mini-battery charge seems to be lasting similar to the "normal" rechargeables, so far, but I've only had this for a few weeks. It's still going on the 1st charge and quite a bit of usage.
- Yes, the instructions were written by someone whose 1st language is likely not English, but they're still quite understandable & easy to follow.
- This product is so useful for me that I bought a 2nd as a backup. Both exhibited the same quirks.
