Review: Great item - This item was delivered in double quick time (the very next day) after ordering. One item was placed downstairs and the other upstairs in the bedroom. The upstairs one was positioned to the side of the television it was going to control and plugged into the mains, downstairs the other one was placed on the floor in front of the SKY+HD box with the unit facing the sensor at the centre of the box. When operating the remote upstairs the channels on the SKY box everything worked as expected. When I came downstairs and used the remote to operate the SKY box it would not work until I had moved the Marmitek unit away from the line of sight with the sensor on the SKY box. This was a nuisance, so I decided to order the extender cable that plugs into the back of the main unit downstairs. When this arrived the unit was put out of sight, the extender cable plugged in, and one of the 'eyes' positioned below the SKY sensor. To test everything was working I went upstairs and operated the remote as normal and everything worked perfectly, then came downstairs and tried the remote directly on the SKY box and this also worked perfectly. In other words if you want to use the remote without moving the downstairs unit and not switching it off I would recommend getting the extender cable. It is always probable to forget to switch the downstairs unit on before going to bed, and then have to come down to switch it on, which (to me) defeats the object. As a result I can thoroughly recommend this unit and especially with the extender cable which comes with two magic eyes so that it can be used with another remotely controlled item. At the end of the day this is a very versatile unit that does exactly what it says, and without any major problems. All I will say is check the prices and availability of these items, as they do vary in both price and delivery charges. Review: Remote extended for Virgin V+ box? Try this. - I needed a remote control extender for my Samsung Virgin+ box but not one that would interfere with the Wi-Fi installation (2.5G) and, as I live in a city, one that would not suddenly control the next door neighbour's tele or vice-versa! I had my doubts about the Marmitek but I spoke to the sales people at Keene (they were very helpful) and was reassured that it would work fine. It does. (using a lower frequency - 433MHz.) I have it installed in a three storey brick built house with the receiver on the ground floor and the transmitter two floors above. I have added the Marmitek IR Eye universal IR extender cable Marmitek IR Eye universal IR extender cable to the Marmitek receiver (very easy - just plug it in) so as not to have the problem of finding somewhere to sit the receiver so that it can "see" the front of the V+ box and apart from the usual playing around with the "IR eyes" to find the best spot on the V+ box for it to work, everything was very easy. It really was a case of out of the box, set up and it was running.(The manufacturer claims a 100m. operating distance but does add the condition that this is in "ideal" circumstances - for that I read "no buildings or floors in the way.) As the Marmitek IR Eye universal IR extender cable has two "eyes" Marmitek IR Eye universal IR extender cable , I also tried contolling other boxes I have (with the associated remote controller for each) and have so far found that all the equipment I have, TV, Sat. receiver (I cannot speak for a Sky Rx - but I do not see why it would not work), amp, everything seems to work - including an older version (Scientific Atlanta) Virgin+ box. Also seems to work fine with a "universal remote". The product itself is two small pyramids which look quite stylish and do not take up much room. Usual problem of locating them near a mains socket for the power supplies (supplied with the unit) but the IR extender cable is quite long, so that helps with that problem. BTW: This is not a "Video Sender". It DOES NOT allow you to see the picture on another TV in a different room! ## Features - WIRELESS THROUGH WALLS AND CEILINGS - Wireless solution for transmitting the signal from your remote control through walls and ceilings. An open range of 50 meters and 10 to 20 meters through walls and ceilings - REMOTE CONTROL - Operating the HDD recorder, Sky box, satellite decoder or stereo system from another room in the house such as a bedroom has never been easier with this infrared extender. Not suitable for sending audio / video signals - YOUR OWN REMOTES - Use your own remote controls to control your devices. This IR extender is guaranteed to work with all remote controls (except Bang&Olufsen) - NO INSTALLATION OR SOFTWARE - No installation or additional software is required to use the Marmitek Powermid XL. This IR transmitter is plug & play and you can immediately enjoy the convenience - COMPATIBLE - functionality with all digital TV decoders guaranteed including Sky box. - Note: To avoid interference, please do not place the device in front of the TV. Please place the (IR receiver/ RF transmitter) away from the TV (or behind the TV). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000GIXH42 | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,846 in Hi-Fi & Home Audio 5,199 in Home Cinema, TV & Video Accessories | | Box Contents | IR transmitter;IR receiver;2 x powersupply | | Brand | Marmitek | | Brand Name | Marmitek | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | DVD/Blu-ray Player, Home Theatre, Set Top Box, Stereo System, Television | | Connector Type | 3.5mm jack | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 1,292 Reviews | | Frequency | 433.92 MHz | | Frequency Bands Supported | 433.92 MHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04015177089006, 04015177089242 | | Included components | IR transmitter;IR receiver;2 x powersupply | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 21D x 16W x 12H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Powermid XL - infrared extension - remote control extender - wireless - multiroom - wireless solution to extend the signal of your remote control - works through walls and floors | | Item Weight | 458 Grams | | Manufacturer | Marmitek | | Manufacturer Part Number | Powermid XL set E | | Model Number | Powermid XL set E | | Range | 50 meters | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Special Features | IR, Wireless | | Special feature | IR, Wireless | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Wireless Compability | Infrared | | Wireless communication standard | Infrared | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Marmitek - **Colour:** Black - **Frequency:** 433.92 MHz - **Special feature:** IR, Wireless - **Wireless communication standard:** Infrared ## Images ![Wireless IR Extender - Marmitek Powermid XL - Transmit your infrared IR signals to another room - Compatible with all remote controls - Works through walls and floors - IR blaster - IR repeater - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JKq18HSmL.jpg) ![Wireless IR Extender - Marmitek Powermid XL - Transmit your infrared IR signals to another room - Compatible with all remote controls - Works through walls and floors - IR blaster - IR repeater - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ho6STx-lL.jpg) ![Wireless IR Extender - Marmitek Powermid XL - Transmit your infrared IR signals to another room - Compatible with all remote controls - Works through walls and floors - IR blaster - IR repeater - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ydd9jsUNL.jpg) ![Wireless IR Extender - Marmitek Powermid XL - Transmit your infrared IR signals to another room - Compatible with all remote controls - Works through walls and floors - IR blaster - IR repeater - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rhLXKDtGL.jpg) ![Wireless IR Extender - Marmitek Powermid XL - Transmit your infrared IR signals to another room - Compatible with all remote controls - Works through walls and floors - IR blaster - IR repeater - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619ZZdiOMaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have bt tv downstairs and want to be able to watch it in my bedroom. how do i go about it?** A: you will need marmitek powermid xl infrared senders. you connect the transmiter one to your bed room tv and the receiver one to your bt vision box. you will of course have to connect your bedroom tv to your down stairs bt vision box via hdmi cable. so when you go to bed to watch tv you have to take your bt vision remote control with you as this will now operate your bt vision box from upstairs via the infrared senders **Q: Can I use this to relay the infrared signal between my "smart" gas metre readings to my "smart" electricity metre for smart reporting?** A: The Powermid XL is designed specifically for AV devices. It could work, but there's is no way to know up front. **Q: Do I need tv to be connected to sky box for this to work or can I place one pyramid on sky box and one on tv?** A: This is ike a one-way pipe, one end is the transmitter, the other the receiver. Use a remote control to the transmitter, and the receiver transmits it to the tv or sky box. I have transmitter in my bedroom to control sky downstairs. **Q: Do these work with Bluetooth headphones** A: This device is not Bluetooth. It transmits the infrared signal from a remote control in one room to the infrared sender in another room allowing you to operate a device for example amplifier, sky box etc in another room which is normally controlled by a remote controller in the same room. It can also be used to control devices hidden in a cupboard, for example. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great item *by K***S on 17 March 2012* This item was delivered in double quick time (the very next day) after ordering.

It DOES NOT allow you to see the picture on another TV in a different room! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not quite perfect *by K***R on 23 April 2010* The product consists of a sender, a receiver and two power supplies. The pyramid-shaped units are operated by infra-red signals from your remote controls but they communicate with each other on a radio frequency. They are easy to set up but not foolproof. The sender needs to be in a natural position, where you can point your remote control as you would normally. To do this, you need a power supply in the approriate part of the room. The receiver has to be in line of sight of the equipment you wish to control. You obviously need to have a piece of furniture on which you can place it and another power supply. On top of that, the radio signal has to travel from one pyramid to the other. In our house, it only has to get through a wooden floor and ceiling. I suggest you avoid placing either pyramid directly on or close to another piece of equipment. We have a brand-new Virgin V+ box and the pyramids work perfectly. My wife needs to lie down upstairs a lot, so the Powermid makes our lives so much easier. Don't forget that you do need to get the TV signal from the V+ box (or whatever) to the alternative room. The new V+ has no "RF out", so I use an old VCR to convert the signal via the scart socket. And of course you can't send HD pictures to another room. The only drawback I have found is that the receiving pyramid is not compatible with some remote control sockets that I bought from ALDI. I'm working on it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wireless IR Extender - Marmitek Powermid XL - Transmit your infrared IR signals to another room - Compatible with all remote controls - Works through walls and floors - IR blaster - IR repeater - Original Sky+ HD remote – Duracell Batteries Included – Official Sky Branded Retail Packaging - SKY120,silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/52204040-wireless-ir-extender-marmitek-powermid-xl-transmit-your-infrared-ir](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/52204040-wireless-ir-extender-marmitek-powermid-xl-transmit-your-infrared-ir) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
