Re: Simple universal RF remote control needed

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use the system listed here:
http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=5684&postcount=1

It's IR though, not RF, but uses the Sky TVLink bits plus a box of
tricks at the node0 end to convert what comes back over the coax into
IR. It's doesn't *need* a Sky box to work, although it can be powered
from one and can control one if needed. Each remote eye needs a bit of
coax back to node0/the central box of tricks.

I'm very pleased with it :-)

HTH,

Tim.
