[mythtv-users] PVR-350 : extending infra-red remote cable

[Jeff Simpson]

It looks like a 2.5mm audio cable (same type of connector as the TI
calculator). You should be able to get an extension cable with those
ends on it fairly easily. If not, you can always just get a length of
3 conductor cable and throw those connectors on it.

I would definitely splurge to buy an extension cable or the connectors
before cutting and splicing the cable.
