Re: Local IR Distribution
How about IR over Ethernet? Could be an interesting slant on all the usual
solutions. not sure how repeats would work but for simple commands it
should be fine. I am currently looking at Ethernet enabling some of my
serial devices and this is a possible use. I don't have one yet, just
looking into it as an idea.

:-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!
