Hi,
I am looking to put my HTPC and AV Receiver (Denon AVR-3805) in the room next door (not line of sight) to my Plasma. I have a Harmony 1100i remote that I want to use to control all 3 however I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is.
I was looking at the Logitech Harmony IR Extender which seems pretty straight forward (sparky will take care of necessary cabling through the roof) but I'm a bit worried I could experience lag seeing as how the total length of cabling between the receiver and the "blasters" would be around 7-9 metres. What are people's thoughts on this?
Also, I haven't quite worked out what IR device I'll use for my HTPC yet. The HP USB MCE one looks alright but would it be ok to place one of the smaller logitech blasters in front of the HP receiver? Seems like a lot of steps to first receive the signal in the lounge, re-emit the signal in the next room, received by HP receiver then process..
Would I be going about this the right way or does anyone have any better ideas?
