IR repeater ove cat6e cable

[stuee]

Hi.
I have a tv and pc in my shed about 30m from the house, i setup originally cat6e network for the computer and then later changed to wireless, i now have a cable running the length from the shed to the house near my home ent setup.

i have a tv in the shed i would like to watch footy on foxtel (satellite) but struggle with the remote.
is there a way to setup a good quality ir repeater using the existing Ethernet cable so i can use different remotes ie if i wanted to put on a movie while i work playing on on the dvd i can just take the dvd remote or same for foxtel.

any schematics would be appreciated as im a novice.
I dont want a dodge one thats intermittent or changes the code and does the wrong button presses as i purchased a cheapo china one that was weak and also you press volume up and it would send the tv chan down???


thanks in advance.

This works for me at home: **broken link removed**

I did an IR repeater install for a commercial application using stuff from these guys: http://www.xantech.com/ You might have to double up on the Ethernet wires. i.e. Use a pair for a single wire.

Some of the Xantech sensors are pass thru which means you can place the sensor on top of the IR receiver and the regular remote shines right thru the sensor.

And then there are devices such as these: http://www.irtrans.com/en/technicalinfo/lan.php Look at the download section for a manual.

Things that you have to watch out for are plasma TV's, CFL and florescent lighting. Some cable boxes just don't like that interference and won't respond. The receiver in your shed might not like florescent lights.

I just found this: **broken link removed** which looks really really nice.
