Getting an IR sensor, Sky Box in a Cupboard!?
I just got Sky Multi room fitted with the new Sky HD box, the simplest one.
It is however in a cupboard away from the living room and I need to find a way to be able to control it from the living room. Does anyone have any reccomendations of what I could use, An eye which connects via RF isn't possible as the Sky box doesn't have those inputs therefore looking for something else.
Thanks

Might be cheaper to buy a used Sky box that has the RF2 output!

I would agree with Martin, they is no really cheap solution to this. Something like this might work, but it is expensive for what it does. http://www.letsautomate.com/10404.cfm?
