I recently purchased a Channel Vision IR 5000 IR repeater to use with a Scientific Atlantic Explorer 8300HD cable box. (I have Comcast service).

I have hooked everything up, get a red light and a blinking green light on the IR 5000 Hub when I use the remote to control the device but I don't get a response from the Explorer cable box. Everything works since this will turn off my Samsung LCD TV using the same method mentioned above.

My question is - Are there any compatibility issues between the two devices?

thanks,

Jeff

Hello,

You should have no problems with the IR-5000 and a Scientific Explorer 7200HD Box. The only thing you can do is make sure that the IR emitter is positioned correctly in front of the box. It is extremely rare that a port on the IR-5000 or a IR emitter goes bad. Please let me know if you still are having problems.
