What Others Say
Works - Even With Two Receivers
We were already successfully using one Instajack set to hook up the DVR on our satellite TV system to the phone line on the other side of our living room. Later we wanted to add an additional telephone jack in a bedroom on the other side of our home. I purchased the second receiver and installed it in the room. This room, while on the same floor, is separated by about 50 feet and down a hall (with several walls) from the original transmitter. As far as the installation, I followed the instructions and had both receivers programed to the one transmitter in no time. Now both the DishDVR, and the telephone in the bedroom, dial and receive calls flawlessly.
For those Instajack users who are having problems dialing out with their satellite ... Read More
What they don't tell you
I'm sure this is a great product if it works in your house. But it won't necessarily do that. I wanted to use it with my sattelit reciever, but I was having problems, so I tried a regular phone and still not working, moved it closer, still nothing until I was lierally right next to the base unit and I still couldn't get anything. So I call up the help line and I'll admit they were very nice and helpfull. However the customer service rep did expain that it was probably the wireing in my house! How often does that happen? I asked. Well a fair bit, I was told. So if you do buy this keep the packaging :)
Piece of Junk
I give one star because it's a great idea for anybody who has a phone jack in an inconvenient place. I bought this because I thought it would solve my need to move the base unit of our cordless phone from one side of a room to the other. Boy was I wrong! Great idea, poor execution! The transmitter and receiver are IN THE SAME ROOM and can't maintain a signal. It seems like the cordless signal interferes, which is ridiculous. I couldn't get a signal at all when I moved the transmitter to a different room. When you read the instructions, they give you a whole list of things that interefere -- why can they make a cordless phone that works throughout the house, but they can't make this work better?!
Works when it works, otherwise a non-stop headache!
I bought this to enable connecting my satellite reciever. It worked in the beginning for about a week with no problems. Then it started acting up. The extension unit would lose the connection about 2-3 times a day. Sometimes it would self-restore, sometimes needed to reset. It was a nuisance but we tolerated it. Then about a month after we bought it, it completely failed to connect. I tried all the troubleshooting tips, and even did the new channel set-up shown in the manual. I work in electronics, so I tried other ideas I knew as well. Still doesn't work. No choice left but to try and return it (and I don't have the original package either so it could be a problem). $60 down the drain :( . Don't buy it. I now am going to run a line through ...
