Remote Control IR Extender Recommendations?

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I did a search and saw nothing recent on this subject.

Looking for a cost effective recommendation (under $200) for an IR extender system (receiver. brain. flashers). I use a Harmony 880 that is IR only with rechargeable battery. Looked at the Next Gen rf system but doesn't fly with the rechargeable battery system. Very appealing approach otherwise.

I have a Dish DVR, HT Pre, Plasma TV, etc. roughly 5 components to cover. All items are in the same room in cabinets. Primary problem is some components are behind front speakers and difficult to get IR beam to control.

Read about Xantech, Buffalo, SmartHome, Hot Link, Channel Vision and even Salamander. I have my components in Salamander cabinets.

Any clear cut choices or ones to avoid? Is it mandatory to get one that is specifically Plasma friendly?

Thanks,
Kenreau
