Re: New IR Distribution System

["marcrfuller" <yahoogroups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Ian,

The big different for me is that they are small and inconsicuous, plus
they can use my existing wiring (tv aerial). I tried the powermids and
their range just didn't cut the mustard. No idea on the other products
out there, as they have always been too expensive or not what I needed.

Cheers

Marc
