Question:

3 Cable boxes in one room, IR extender?

I have three tv's in one room and have three cable boxes to control each TV. (This is a large game room) At the moment the TV's have the cable box directly below them and each can have different viewing. I'd like to hide the cable boxes in a storage closet (with ventilation) but be able to control the systems. I've used and seen the IR extenders, but they are usually multiple devices at once (cable box, dvd, vhs, tivo, etc) are there systems with multiple eyes to send to specific devices or even single device systems?

Answer:

A universal remote is a great and inexpensive way to accomplish your goals. I recommend the Philips Pronto 9200 with the optional RF extender. The RF extender has discreet IR outputs so you can control each cable box one at a time and they wont interfere with each other. Model # for the RF extender is RFX9200.
