Any receiver which uses a serial connection should be able to handle an extension of 50ft without any problems (longer is possible but can get messy).<br><br>vik<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jul 12, 2008 at 12:22 PM, Mark A Jenks <<a href="mailto:Mark.Jenks@nsighttel.com">Mark.Jenks@nsighttel.com</a>> wrote:<br>

Is there a way to just extend the IR part of the controller somewhere<br>

Thoughts?<br>
