Control all of your home entertainment components with this NextGen Genius remote extender that features a transmitter the size of a AA or AAA battery for simple installation in your existing remote. Five frequencies provide multicomponent control.

Still trying to set it up

An overwhelming majority of reviews have been positive but I can't get the remote extender to work with my TV + Time Warner Cisco HD DVR Box + Logitech Harmony 650 remote. Maybe it's user error. I first tried using the remote control that goes with my Time Warner cable box but it didn't work. I called Best Buy and they recommended I buy the Logitech Harmony 650 remote control which they said would work with the Nextgen Remote Extender. That doesn't work either. I am hoping to find a remote control that is compatible. I am holding out hope that this product indeed works but I need to know exactly which remote control will work with the remote extender. Suggestions welcome!
What's great about it: Not sure yet
What's not so great: I can't get it to work
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Update and still no luck
February 18, 2013
I returned to Best Buy to purchase yet another remote control (Sony RM-VZ320). After 1 hour on the phone with Sony setting up the remote to control the TV and Time Warner Cisco Cable Box, the remote extender once again, does not work.
