[mythtv-users] OT (a little) expierience with IR extenders & MythTV

[Paul Catchpole]

I'm using a one-for-all extender with a homebrew receiver and the remote
from a leadtek 2000xp deluxe...

It works fine but I did have to turn down the sensitivity screw on the back
of the send-to-computer end until the red transmit light was well and truly
off - it seemed to start spurting random stuff as I moved it closer to the
PC - maybe picking up interference.

Is anyone out there using IR extenders with LIRC?  I bought a set similar to
these:  
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005T3XR/qid%3D1077804041/sr%3D11-1
/ref
%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/002-9258049-7290416

My remote and lirc work great when I'm not going through the extender.  
When I'm going through the extenders, the remote works... most of the time.
Occasionally, response is sluggish.. sometimes I have to hit a key several
times before it's recognized.  Using mode2, I see that there seems to be a
ton of noise spewing out of the extender... so I'm assuming this is probably
what's causing my problems?  If so, is anyone out there using the One For
All URC-9910 (comes with its own rf extender) with better results? 

Thanks
