IR receiver is easily remotely mountable & can I suggest 2.5mm stereo 
jack sockets for connecting the IR receiver - that way you can use the 
one that comes with the PVR350.

It would work well for connecting the IR transmitter too. That can be 
made stealthy to allow discrete control of settop boxes.
