skyhighmac Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 A friend of mine wants to buy an apple tv, and he wants to put it in his media closet which is a little ways, and use his universal remotes to contol them, but how would I do this? I was thinking about an IR blaster? I'm not sure. He really just wants it to work, so please, can anyone help me? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jriera Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 IR Blasters/IR Repeaters work fine, I have several at home including one to the Apple TV. Smarthome, Buffalo even Amazon has those. You need the reciever, the modulator/connection block, the power supply and the flasher(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhighmac Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Would you link to the one that you use? I have heard some people have problems with them. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jriera Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have always used Xantech products (http://www.xantech.com/products/ir_products.htm), I have the 789-44 Connector Block, the 480-B0 receiver (Dinky-Link) and the 284M Emitters. At this point I have four of this systems at home, never had any trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
