Remote Control - Help

[hybridauth_Twitter_31818303]

Hi all,

I am in the process of refreshing my home cinema set-up.

The components will soon be housed in a cupboard, away from view. The components will be RECEIVER, BLU-RAY PLAYER, SKY+HD box.

I'm looking for advice + recommendations for the remote control "eye" that will poke out of the cupboard, and relay the various signals to the receiver and Sky. The Receiver has a 5.1 system wired up.

What options do I have, what considerations should I make, and how much will I need to budget to get this in place?

All answers gratefully received...

...less cabling and faff?

Hi Rob,

There are several good alternatives for this. I'm not familiar with the one you have found - looks quite clever though, depending on how you have your gear laid out. Good luck with it.
