Virgin Media- Box hiding

[Ralf Rockefeller]

Hi Chaps,

I have searched, as I know this topic pops up alot, but coulf not get an answer.

Basically, I wall mounted the TV over the weekend, and my Xobx, Sky box and V+ box are tucked away nicely in my unit below the TV.

However, I have to leave the drawer front open to change the channel on V+.

Is there any device which merely extends the IR reciver, so I leave it closed whist I can change the V+ channel?

Have you tried a PowerMid

On the back of my V+ box (Scientific Atlanta) there is a mini jack for IR, I don't know what it does, I have never tried, but it may be there to plug in an external IR eye?

Do those Pyramid things do the trick?

I didnt know the V+ had an IR extender at the back, has anyone used it?

if anyone knows any more on the ir extender plug please post it up, would love to hide the box

Been searching the next- the IR out on the V+ is not functional

Stick to the remote senders.

I've just bought a great little set up from Keene

I have 2 receivers(one in bedroom, one in lounge next to TV) going into an AMP, that then goes to 2 transmitters, one in front of the V+ the other in front of my PopCorn Hour. Works very well, though not cheap cheap (40/50 quid)
