Hi
I'm looking to possibly get the Harmony 1000 remote but need some advice on what I want it to do.
I gather from reading on this forum that touch screens have the problem of you needing to look at the screen while also pointing the remote at the kit you controlling.
My intention was to by the RF wireless extender for the Harmony and mount it on the back wall of the room pointing directly at the equipment and therefore no mater how I was holding the remote or where I was standing/sitting or pointing it, it would still work via the RF wireless extender.
I read the instruction manual and am now unsure if this is possible as I understand it will only control 8 bits of kit and it seemed you have to plug cables into the RF wireless extender .
Does anyone know if what I proposed above will work and is the RF wireless extender limited to control upto 8 items even though I believe the remote can control 15?
If it is not possible is there something on the market which can translate the 1000 RF signals into IF and transmit to the equipment?
