I have distributed the RF output of the 9200 to the rest of the house and would like to be able to control it from other rooms in the house using a wireless remote control extender. e.g. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=9638&doy=1m11D
Has anyone successfully used one of these gadgets with their 9200? From what I've read, they are not all compatible with all digiboxes (including some sky, cable & freeview boxes). Aparently, it depends on which IR 'standard' your system uses.
Any advice would be welcome.

If it comes round again, it seems to be a good value buy to use with the Humax; no compatibility issue at all.
I found that if the IR eye on the Philips was too close to the IR window on the HUMAX, I could not use the remote while in the same room, as it would appear that the Philips "leaks" IR noise, which muddies ths remote signal and makes the 9200 sluggish to respond, unless using the remote at very close quarters.
I simply moved the IR diode further away, and now have no problems at all. Apart from needing to carry the remote around of course.

I have the same box plus the \Philips SBCVL1400 Wireless TV Link and can't get a restul on either.
On the Philips SBCVL1400 Wireless TV Link , I manage to get a green light happening when using the remote from another room (suggesting the SBCVL1400 is actually sending the humax's control), but alas I cannot do anything else - despite having tried seemingly every combination of SBCVL1400 and Humax 9200 positioning (on top, by the side, directly nexy to the Humax 9200 IR window) etc etc.
Is there anyone else who is successfully using the SBCVL1400 with the Humax 9200 and what is the golden position you have found for your other sender, Barry?
Cheers, Dave
Sound and video transfer is fine but I coudn't get the Humax remote to work with the Philips - which sort of defeats the object.
You will only be able to change channels if you take the remote into the room where the Humax is stationed - which isn't really feasible if you want to watch a TV upstairs.
I bought a One4All remote extender on ebay (£20), which I setup yesterday and it works perfectly from upstairs !
Only confusion I had was their 'transmitter' is the IR receiver, and vice versa, which meant I initially put them in the wrong places (box labelled 'receiver' actually needs to be in room with 9200).
(I tried to post an img link but this rubbish forum won't allow them !)
THis is not a rubbish forum, there is loads of link posted in posts, what up with some of you people today lol.
Goto advance and hit the icon with a link on it it will then ask for text click ok on that, then it will ask for the http address for your link. again press ok.
In future before calling this forum rubbish, ask for help. lol
TV link Plus enabled my remote Eye's to work as before with $ky TVlinkPlus
Thanks - I knew there would be SOME solution!
