We have recently reorganised our Sky set-up and the Sky box is now in a cupboard a few metres away from the TV. I bought a simple USB-powered hard-wired IR remote extender from Jaycar - installed it - didn't work. Well, it did work so long as the remote was with one metre of the IR receiver - but not if further away.I took it back to Jaycar and got my money back. Then I bought a similar one on Trademe and have just installed it - doesn't work. The red power light is going on the supplied USB adapter and a green LED is showing on the IR receptor. It has four IR emitters - have tried all of them - and nothing.I'm puzzled and frustrated - these aren't the most complicated devices on the planet and I've used them before. Have I been unlucky and got two duds in a row (which I find a bit hard to believe) - or is there something going on here that I'm unaware of. Interference of some sort?Other devices in the same cupboard are our Spark HG659b and a Sonos bridge.Would appreciate comments or advice.
