    Hi,

    I think I have my system pretty much set up as best I could. But Im always willing to improve it. Heres the diagram of my setup

    43h8waw.jpg

    Basically I can view RTE Channels, FTA, PC, DVD/VCR and Sky+ anywhere in the house.
    I can only control Sky+ from anywhere using Magic Eyes.
    I can only control FTA using Magic Eye on my Main TV (Sitting Room)
    The first VCR is basically an RF Modulator that converts my PC s-video onto a coax cable.

    Problems I wish to address.
    Unable to control DVD or PC from outside their rooms.
    Unable to control FTA from anyplace other than Main TV

    Comments, suggestions welcome :)

    No exactly sure what you're trying to achieve?

    Not sure why you would want to control the FTA and Sky+ from other rooms. Not sure if it's even possible without having to put your hand over the magic eye of the box you don't want to control.

    I would (and have) roll my own PVR and get rid of the 2nd Digibox (FTA), PC, VCR/modulator and DVD/VCR in one swoop.

    Also it may be nicer to have individual digiboxes for other TVs.

    ATI make an RF remote control that has a pretty decent range. You can control a PC from another room.
