Suggestions about my setup - visible diagram

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



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.
