I'm very satisfied with my Remotec BW-2112, but I'm not sure you can get it whereever you are. If you're in Europe, you can try to get it here: http://www.clasohlson.no/shop/store/fs_mm.asp?CatPath=0q112q116q190&CampPath=&SelectedWAG=4725&IsCampaign=N&NoCache=3066654#N0q112q116q190, they might want to ship internationally. The price equals about 75 american dollars.

The part number is 32-2261.

I need to get the IR from my TV remote transmitted into another room where I have an IRman connected to a PC. Cannot do so over wires due to logistics. I bought a Recoton IR100A wireless remote extender. However, it is not working well at all. Lots (50 per minute) of false codes sent to Girder. Apparently noise and RF interference from Recoton's cheap-o recever (400MHz). some help by moving the receiver away from the PC and monitor, but still too much noise.

On old product is EZremote, which translated the IR signals to the AC power line. I wonder if it is any good and is a viable alternative? And if it will falsely trigger my X10 modules?

Otherwise, I have to figure how to move the IR over the cable coax in the house- which I think is quite costly.
