But, I am wondering if they ever tried reducing the signal. Yes, many devices cannot handle the platform. U-verse does seem more fragile than the others. In fact, that same IR platform is used by many others. That is the only way they can all use the same remote. All u-verse boxes use the same IR & processing software. Yes, the IR signal is a newer design that is very fragile, But, it is not unique to the 2250 or even specific models of the 2250. But, I need to push back a little on the description of the IR signal. I really appreciate the depth of your understanding on this issue. In fact, it may turn out to be my only option. It's a good idea, and I'm in the process of evaluating it. He suggested putting the hub in the media closet, where it can control the VIP2250 directly, avoiding the need to relay the IR signal over HDMI (which, as stated above, won't work). Hence, the VIP2250 cannot be controlled remotely using an IR-over-HDMI solution.Īviewer had offered a similar suggestion for my problem: use the Logitech Harmony Smart Control, which is a wireless (RF) control. This protocol has very exacting timing requirements, and is not well-supported by many so-called "universal" remotes, as well as certain ancillary equipment, such as IR extenders. Although I could control the DVD player just fine, the VIP2250 was completely unresponsive.Īfter a lot of web research, I think I finally found the answer: the VIP2250 uses a special IR protocol developed by Phillips known as RC-MM (Remote Control - Multi Media). So, I got the bright idea to use one of those Monoprice 9964 IR-over-HDMI extenders between the living room and media closet, using my existing HDMI run. But, of course, I need to control the VIP2250 remotely - somehow - and the Harmony 350 is an IR (only) control. I'm using a Logitech Harmony 650 remote which works fine with everything, including the VIP2250.

I have a similar sitution: TV in the living room, VIP2250 and DVD player in a media closet about 30' away, connected by HDMI cables. I'm not familiar with "Arris" as a brand name, but assume it's the same as a Motorola VIP2250, which is what I have. If you are ready for a new TV, look for a Samsung that has a built in IR repeater, designed just for this purpose. More expensive smart control has a hand held remote that transmits IR for the TV & wireless for the closet.

This is a great option if you would like some addl features. The STB would be wireless & the TV would be controled by a wired miniblaster. The least expensive would require a wire between the room & the closet. Logitech has three different "smart control" units. Monoprice also, has a kit to connect the two ends via the HDMI cable. You can get various repeaters optical - electrical (wired or wireless) Monoprice has a wireless. Here is a similar, probably more powerful alternative. I did have one for five years & I believe it is underpowered. Some may work & some may not.ĭo you want another wireless solution? Or, can you run a wire between the room & the closet?Ītt sells a point anywhere remote that works wireless to a dongle on the DVR to transmit IR.
