re: Want to put cable box in closet (cox)

LINK
I have cox.. contour dvr box.. and all I needed was this..

You put one end on the front of your box that just sticks to it.. then put the receiver somewhere on the outside that you can aim your remote to..

it will need a power source, so you can either plug it in via usb input on your box.. or use the adapter plug in to go into a regular outlet.

Works great for me.. There is always a green light on though.. but that doesn't both me.. I have mine along side a mirror.. and the wire hides behind the mirror..

the other system linked is really nice and more fancy.. more wireless.. but just thought i'd share how i did it..





that's the new receiver.. i just point the remote in the general direction of it.. because it's so high.. i actually don't even need to point the remote at it..

and this is where i have the other part of the receiver attached to the contour dvr box..





I pulled the box out of hiding so I could show you where I attached the receiver.

again, just passing along so you can see where i attached mine on the box.. it won't work on just any area of the box.. what i had to do was place that receiver all around the box and keep trying to use my remote aimed at the other receiver until i saw it light up and work.. that's how i found the spot to put it..

hope that all makes sense.. sorry for all the talk. haha. good luck to you. if you can afford the other set linked i am sure that's better, but this will help you get an idea.

(p.s. yea, i know i need to dust that area, that's gross haha)
