I've had this coupled with the SVM-24 for nearly 3 years now. My only issue has been that it's _very_ easy to accidentally short the cable when adding a new device -- which trips the breaker in the unit requiring a restart. The breaker is obviously a very good feature and I've taken to unplugging the power on those rare occasions when I need to re-patch my video network. I've experienced "IR noise" due to an LCD TV -- and beyond making things unresponsive during the interference, once the noise "settles down" things go back to normal instantly. I'm not sure what the other reviewer experienced, but I've had the same unit for years and it works as advertised. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking to distribute over coax.

The RF DA function works just fine. The other function is to repeat IR inputs from DA outputs. This unit burns itself out when an IR sensor is exposed to IR noise. - - It's one thing for it to not work in the presence of noise - I can see that - but it burns out! - That's a design error. Tech support insulated me from engineering instead of allowing me to work with them, which I was happy to do. (I'm an electrical engineer) Instead, they gave me silly things to do like installing a surge suppressor and another power supply. They never acknowledged the problem, but gave a 'modified' unit to try. Beware if you depend on the IR function. This might be a company that just markets devices that are designed offshore and don't have significant internal technical competence.

This item exceeded my expectations. It was extremely easy to install and worked very well with the Channel Plus modulator with which I paired it.
