I am using Samsung UN32H5203AF with a Dish PVR 612. Problem #1:
Using the included IR extender with both units in close proximity I can not get the Samsung remote to recognize the PVR.
Potential Problem #2:
Assuming Problem #1 can be solved, ultimately the TV will be used in an adjacent room and I'd like to "extend the extender" by making a 2 conductor extension cable with male and female 1/8" phone plugs on either end, matching the connector on the extender. Does anyone know if this will work? The TV auto-senses the extender when it's plugged in or not. Was just hoping to save the $20 trip to Radio Shack. Thanks, ZZ03
