Powermid is a bit hit and miss (like all other "blaster" type emitters).
 
There is an excellent add-on for your digibox that will squirt the IR down the Coax.

Subject: [ukha_d] powermid - reliability

What's the general view of the powermid system?  I need a cheap
and
cheerful solution to relaying IR from around the house to the Sky
Digibox.  I intend to move house later this year therefore don't want
to invest too much time or effort into a proper hardwired solution yet.

Does the Powermid system work anyway close to being reliable?  I seem
to remember a bit of bad press on some of the newsgroups a while back,
is this still valid? Anyone got any personal experience?

Thanks,

Rgds, Steve
