Your Fire TV Cube requires full-time power, so make sure there’s an outlet close enough to the device. Select the “IR Blaster setup” option from the Sony menu and then find your cable box model from the list of manufacturers. Another great thing about the IR Extender is that it works with an IR sensor. This means that the IR signal will always reach the right external device. But before you do, make sure that the manufacturer of your cable or satellite box supports the IR Blaster feature. Most manufacturers do, nowadays, but it’s best to make sure before you start. Choose “External Inputs” then “IR Blaster setup” (keep in mind that depending on the model of your TV, the exact path might be slightly different.)Just like the Sewell BlastIR Wireless Pro and StarTech IREXT2, NextGen 433 KIT also has the RF transmitter and RF receiver. The difference is that the RF transmitter actually looks like a AAA battery and goes inside your remote. You are supposed to insert the included mini rechargeable battery inside the AAA RF transmitter and replace one of the batteries from your IR remote with this transmitter. If you need to recharge the batteries, there’s a charging compartment inside the RF receiver. Once you are done installing the RF transmitter, you can position the RF receiver, connect the included IR emitter cable if necessary, and plug it in. Depending on the distance the signal needs to be extended by, there are several methods to achieve the same result. For shorter distances or single device operation, a wired version such as the BAFX Repeater Cable should be sufficient. For longer distances, a wireless repeater like the Sewell Direct BlastIR will give you more range, however, the transmitter and the receiver still need a line of sight with each other. By converting the infrared signal into a radio frequency, the Next Generation Remote and the SIIG Pro can send the signal over much greater distances and even allow devices to be controlled from other rooms or from outside.

Their BlastIR Wireless Pro kit (receiver + emitter) receives, repeats, and extends the range of IR signal without causing any interference.

Things we like That sort of second-rate microphone performance just won’t do for the Fire TV Cube whenever you’re relying on voice commands to get things done because those commands could be coming from 10, 15, or even 20 feet away. To get accurate and clear voice recordings, your Fire TV Cube relies on a technology called the far-field microphone, which is optimized to distinguish a voice from the ambient room noise even when that voice is far away. Your Fire TV Cube’s far-field microphone uses some fancy-schmancy technology to accomplish this difficult task: A: Try directing the remote towards the device it controls and place an obstacle (like a book or a piece of wood) between the remote and the device you want to control.
