Re: Remote IR

["baker_darren" <darren@xxxxxxx>]

Brian,

Yes you assume right, I have the twin emitter attached to the IR 
window of both the Sky box and the Tivo. The powermid receiver has a 
3.5mm socket which accepts the 3.5mm plug on the Xantech 286M. The 
receiver does transmit IR without the emitters but using the 
emitters allowed me to focus the IR and allow me to place the 
receiver anywhere I liked rather than in front of the units being 
controlled.

Yes, there are a couple of those KAT5 things in the photo as well

Regards,
Darren
