Better yet, ignore Dave.  He's apparently on some jag again with nothing
better to do that post anything that attempts to oppose Bass.  Robert's not
always right or unbiased but he does go a fair bit out of his way in this
newsgroup to post useful information.  Dave knows quite a lot, and also
helps, but oy, this latest bunch of crap is just annoying.

Then count your blessings as the powermids are absolute garbage and a
complete waste of your time.  Run, do not walk, away from that stupid idea.

I've used a great many IR extender devices.  Xantech might not be the least
expensive but it works.  The last thing you want when dealing with remotes
is hassles.  Getting decent IR networking gear goes a long way to saving you
TIME and aggravation.
