yeah i got that already. i was more stuck on how would it know without it being connected to the TV in some way like how your cable box can have an IR receiver so you can hide it away.

well 1 receiver and 1 transmitter is all i need. i just need to move the location if the IR of the TV to another place so i can still control it when my cat decides they want to lay in front of where it supposed to be going to.

well i kind of was. i was thinking and expecting them to have to hook up to what you wanted to control so it could be controlled just like how your cable box or satellite dish has to be. but i had no idea as i have never even thought of them as i never planned on using them but my cat recently has decided that it wants to lay in front of the TV right where the IR signal goes into it. i will look at that product you linked and any others you can think of. right now i dont need something that has 3 inputs and 4 outputs.

thanks. i finally understand what you were talking about as well as ikeagnome. it just took me a minute because of me being stupid so thanks. i will look into this one more. and i am not sure. i said the model in the first post.

yeah, took me a minute to understand, sorry for me being stupid. but that is why i asked. i know with my cable box it came with a port just for the IR receiver to be placed so the box could be hidden so i was expecting the TV to be the same. do you know of any product that doesnt need to be plugged into the wall? kind of limited on plugs even with a 12 plug surge protector.

oh i think i get it now. place the IR transmitter over the original receiver and place a IR receiver where it can be seen or get the signal.

yes i am stuck on it because if its not plugged into your TV or whatever you are trying to control, then how does it control it? i understand it moves the IR receiver to where it can receive the signal but without being plugged into what is supposed to receive the signal originally, then how does this work? oh and sorry, i am more of a visual learner. if you got something you can show me, it will help much more.

yes i know that but looking at the link that erioch posted, there is not 1 connection that is anything but a 3.5mm.

great but it still looking like it needs to be connected to the TV somehow and all of the ones in the link you gave me are 3.5mm headphone jack plugs which this TV doesnt have. so how would i connect it to the TV then since its supposed to extend the range or move the IR receiver to a more suitable location?

great except my TV being 12 years old now, doesnt have the 3.5mm headphone jack to be able to plug that in to. it does have a USB but for the most part it says for media only like USB for pics.

posting this in general because it kind of falls under general, off topic troubleshooting and displays as far as i can tell. i am wondering if its possible to add an IR receiver/extender to an LG 42" TV that was built in 2011. the model is 42LV4400. i am just wondering because my cat loves to sit right where the IR receiver for the TV is so it blocks the signals when i want to change. so i an looking for this so i can move it to the top of the TV so i dont have to worry about it anymore.

well personally i like the in person better because i can see the item and what it does and doesnt have physically vs seeing in on a TV screen or computer monitor that is no where near as detailed as the one they are advertising so you can only go off of what you see thru your monitor.

well yes and no. in 2014 i went to the gamestop expo in Anaheim CA and i live on the US east coast so overall i spent around $1500 then but its something i wanted to do. so i would say it would have to be personal preference on if you think its worth it or not and i know you were asking me if i think it is. well i think the experience of going to some place that most dont get to see or something you havent done before might be worth it. but i see people like the ones i listed above either livestreaming it or at least recording it to be posted like you said.

i am in my mid 30s but i remember some 90s computers, then us having these when i was in 5th and 6th grade

well its actually extremely easy to set up a company here in the US. most that do start an LLC (limited liability company/corporation) which if i am right would be the same or similar to the Ltd (limited) companies or corporations in england or europe but i have not looked into it so i can not say for sure. and the real issue with becoming an affiliate like linus, jaytwocents, gamers nexus, bitwit kyle, pauls hardware, etc. etc. is that it takes years and you have to build yourself up to high stats before being invited to join. $300 for getting a first hand look of the new stuff its probably worth it when you compare your experience to those around you that didnt go. the issue i have with any of this is that they schedule multiple things for all at the same time, like LG will be doing a floor demonstration will Samsung/sony or whoever will be doing one in the exhibit hall 1000ft away. i am just looking forward to seeing the videos from the ones that do go so i can see the new tech and compare it myself to see what i am thinking of buying as i need a new monitor but nothing comes as big as i need without going stupidly expensive LED panels like for outdoor sports stadiums.
