[JPHCCFC]

I have just cabled my Virgin box wia aerial to connect to my Kitchen TV. The only thing i need now is an ir sender so i can change the channel while im in the kitchen - does such an item exist i went to Maplins and they tried to sell me an IR/Video sender and they said that IR senders alone only exist for Sky!

battery power thats not ideal, the amazon ones look OK if they come with mains adapter and should run on coax just fine

ive purchased the marmiteck ones from amazon so i will let you know if they are any good!

Hi, I'm looking at getting one of these too, did it turn out to be any good? I can't find any reviews anywhere!

i tried a number of solutions and this is by far the best just ensure you have a good aerial connection between the two and you will have to tune the frequency on the sender otherwise it will change channels for you without any input you really have to get it right
