    Arrow Sanus ELM501 IR Repeater Kit First Look

    While the Sanus ELM501 IR Repeater Kit isn't the cheapest on the block, it isn't overly expensive either. We really like the holster idea for the IR blasters and think that this feature alone might be worth a bit of extra cost. Add in the discrete tabletop and hole mounting options and we think Sanus just might have a winner on their hands.

    It looks like they had Channel Vision OEM it for them, and they are charging a lot more for it... the Channel Vision IR-5000 is the same thing and retail is around $85...

    I think we have seen this type of thing before...

    I have had good luck with the NGHP (Next Generation Home Products) RF extender, but your remote must use either AA or AAA.

    Isn't $200 completely ridiculous for it to repeat an IR signal?
