RE: Re: Recommended IR Receivers

Yeah, the lounge is South facing Paul and the only wall I could put the
tube on obviously gets reflections as it does not get direct sunlight.
The IR receiver is one of the Buffalo ones though and not the Xantech, I
tried both filters that came with the unit but no joy :-(

The good news is I have used the Xantech table top and Dinky-Link
receivers as well, the Dinky-Links are excellent, no problems at all and
the table top one only misbehaved when it caught (almost) direct
sunlight.
