Hello all,
I'm just looking for a bit of advice before I start taking things apart.
I have a satellite receiver hidden away in a cupboard and I wanted to have a small infrared receiver at that tv so that I could change the channels without having the door open.
I thought that this would be cheap enough to buy until I started looking today, and they start at around £25.
So my question is whether or not it would be possible to just solder a few wires inside the satellite receiver to the existing points and run the cable up to a small IR receiver at the TV or would I need to repeat the signal along the way? It is only going to be 0.5m at the most.
I already have a infrared receiver connected to a 3.5mm jack which I took from an old video sender, so if it is possible to just simply connect this up I'll put a jack at the back of the satellite box and plug this in.
Thanks
