Anyone ever play around with the IR extenders? I'm using my xbox as one right now, my onkyo receiver and directv receiver are downstairs in a stereo room.  All the cables are ran down there from the xbox then back to my tv.  The remote works great from my room.  

 

Now when I try and set the same thing up in the kitchen with a top rated IR extender kit from amazon and the same model IR eye I used for my xbox, it doesn't work.

 

Does anyone know of any good kits or what my problem may be?

Wired kit? Did you try it up close first? Some aren't compatible with different IR signals. I had to try a couple before I could get my old tv to work
