So I have all my equipment behind GOM fabric. My HTPC's remote has no problem working through it, and neither does my receiver. However, my craptastic Time Warner DVR is not getting the remote signal through the GOM.

I'm looking for a way to mount something very tiny, hopefully barely noticeable, right on the outside of the GOM, that will have a wire connecting it through the GOM to something that will have a line of sight to the DVR. Does that make sense?

My original TiVo had a thing that plugged into the back of it, which was a little wire with a red square on the end. The red square was positioned on top of the IR sensor on the VCR, and this allowed the TiVo to send the remote signals to the VCR.

Does such a thing exist that doesn't hook up to any device, but rather a wire with a red square on each end - one to receive the signal and then send it down the wire to come out the other end, which would send it to the DVR. Make sense?

Thanks.

A wireless remote extender will easily accomplish that. I use this one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FNext-Generation-Remote-Control-Extender%2Fdp%2FB000C1Z0HA%2Fref%3Dpd_bbs_sr_1%3Fie%3DUTF8%2 6s%3Delectronics%26qid%3D1227210159%26sr%3D8-1&tag=5336055023-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325). The transmitter resides inside the remote in place of one of the batteries so it's not necessary to point the remote at anything in particular to get it to work (the IR is being converted to RF).

Place the receiving unit where the equipment is that you want to control. If you can't place it in such a way that there's line of sight between it and the equipment, you can use the included emitter cable that plugs into the receiver and has an eye on the end that attaches to the IR sensor of the component you're trying to control.

Thanks, that looks like it will do exactly what I need it to do.
