:-D

My powermids worked fine in my old house. They aren't so effective in the
new
one, for some reason - they only work from certain upstairs rooms but not
others. They *can* be an easy way to distribute IR though, assuming you
don't
have a wife who insists on placing things directly in front of the receiver
unit...

Having said that, I am planning to replace them!
