"Go Keithie, Go Keithie ... It's yer birthday ..."

Put me down for an S-Vid + Stereo audio pair with termination ... I found
an
IR extender for £40 at my local Comet and that'll do to bounce the IR back
from the bedroom for the time being ... (although maybe I should just swipe

trying to
automate the drowning of his house! ... *grin* I just want to be able to
watch my DVD player in bed. Now what slot did I put "Henry And
June" in?
