I thought I saw one of these in a catalog a while back, but could never
find it again. A small battery powered gadget that receives signals
from any IR remote control and then rebroadcasts it. You place it
"midway" between you and the receiver, and point its output at the
receiver.
The idea is this would let you improve the range and operating angle
for a remote control.
I know there is a similar gadget that attaches directly to a remote to
amplify it, but this really doesn't help for receivers that are very
directional. There are also repeaters that are meant to be used
with tv cable between its receiver and transmitter. I'm looking
for a compact self contained unit.
Anyone see what I'm looking for?
