I'm curious, since I'm finding the 3000 doesn't really pass through objects in it's path as well as the 2000 does.

What I'm interested in is how good is the RF capabilities with objects, etc. Also, the photos of the Extender show 4 IR blasters. Just want to make sure that's correct.

Also, are you happy with the extender? Does it make a huge improvement or just minor?

Thanks.

I do have the RF Extender. I have used it many times with the 6000, and have just recently started playing with it with the 3000. It seems to work fine. My imported programming seemed to bog down the remote, thus making everything slow down(I originally thought it was a problem with the RF, but it was not), I just reset the remote, and it is all better. I am currently working on new original programming for it, as I have had a lot of problems importing my 2000 and 6000 programming into it. The extender does have 4 ir ports, where you can plug in ir emitters(included). You can also use dual emitters to give it a capability of 8. Also, the front of the extender works as an IR blaster, so if you have your equipment in a closet, you can mount it on the opposite side, and do away with the single emitters altogether. The instructions are very good in explaining this. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected]

Thanks for the response. I think I'm going to pick one up for the 3000 and solely use the IR emitters.

Aside from the programming bug you discovered that slowed down your remote, is there any slow down from trasmitting to the extender, converting the beam to ir, then sending it to the device compared to just normal ir beaming to the device?
