My FIOS HD (non-DVR) box series QIP6200 had a port labeled "IR". With some internet investigation and an impressivly prompt email reply from the vendor IR-Resources I learned that my FIOS box had only either an IR-output or a service port...which was why the IR receiver would not work.
The GREAT news for me was that Verizon (with one phone call & a later trip to the local Verizon center) did a no-cost swap to an updated FIOS HD (non-DVR) box QIP7100 series that had "IR INPUT" port. The IR Recieiver works 1000% as I expected with the 7100 series box. I am now able to put my FIOS box inside a closed door entertainment unit and still have full remote control functions.
Delivery was prompt, the items (I bought 2) were well wrapped etc. and were exactly as represented. The receiver head is small & pretty much invisible on the black frame of my plasma TV and the 9 foot lead wire was plenty......
I'm not sure what happened to the other reviewers but when I first contacted IR Resources they willingly offered me a full refund if I so desired. They also followed thru promptly to update the Amzon posting as not-compatable w/ the Verizon 6000 series ......and again I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT HOW VERY VERY VERY PROMPTLY IR-RESOURCES REPLIED TO MY EMAIL SENT VIA AMAZON. If only every internet vendor was this responsible!!!Works very well The IR sensor is kind of big but will pick a signal from about anywhere in the room only thing I could find to work with the new Comcast HD cable box since Comcast will not offer you one go figure huh good price fast shipping very happy over allI have only had this item a short time and so I have not permanently mounted it nor have I extensively tested it. However, from initial testing, it appears to work as advertised with my Comcast HD STB (RNG 110 (Pace) with an "IR Receive" port). Price of the item is very reasonable and shipping was quick. The device also looks well-made. I would not have trouble recommending this item to anyone having compatible equipment.If you own a Verizon FIOS Motorola QIP 7100-2, then this will work. I was also impressed with the store I bought it from because they called me to confirm what model of STB I had before they shipped it. They wanted to make sure I had a compatible STB and fortunately mine was a match. Highly recommend. If it doesn't work when you first plug it in, you may need to power cycle the STB with the IR plugged in adn then try it again.This IR extender works with a Comcast HD Cable box very well a basic wire and no wireless connectivity problems
