I have been searching the net for a long time to get my hands on a IR Repeater/Transmitter. The reason being I wanted to control my TS HD+ box from the comforts of my bedroom which had a LED monitor as 2nd TV since we do not use the living room to watch TV (read no AC) in this humid weather.
With the new software update along with updated TS Mobile App, I was very excited to see if this resolves my problem.
I had earlier got the ethernet connection from TS executive but it was not being used however as I read that the TS+ HD recommends ethernet cable as the preferred connection I gave it a try instead of ordering a Wifi dongle.
Soon the connection was made between modem and TS box using the ethernet cable and the settings were done within a minute. Next was the installation of TS mobile app on my Nexus 4 and it was a breezy affair too.
The app instantly recognized the wifi connection I had setup on my STB and soon I was able to control the STB using the mobile app from my bedroom. Because of the wall partition the IR remote never worked however the WiFi setup has enabled me to use the 2nd monitor equivalent to my primary TV connection.
Patience helped me really that I did not order the IR repeater/Transmitter from Amazon or Ebay and would like to thank TS to come up with an extremely easy, stable and reliable solution. :yahoo: :clapping:
I am sure others would have also benefited with this update.
