Am currently sending IR over a stereo audio cable, which runs alongside the power cable to my LCD up the chase in the wall. Unfortunately, due to the power draw of the LCD when it first starts up, I am unable to use the IR sender for about 30 seconds after turning the TV on, the activity light just comes on and stays on for this time - at all other times it works perfectly.
Will I see any benefit from using any of the other cables available to me along the same run, these are - RG6 ish coax (only two cores so would carry on using the existing cable for the power part of the signal), figure of 8 stereo audio flex (and use the existing IR cable for what it replaces), cat 5, or cat 5 with some sort of balun / sender unit - or should I just bodge it with a powermid RF sender? If I do that, do those things have an IR output so I can split it up and feed it to each component properly the other end?
