Thanks for the suggestion, but I already have a modulator that sends the
locals and the Satellite to all the TV's in the house. I just need to
somehow get the inferred remote control signal back to the receiver.
Considering I already have coax run to each TV, it would make sense to us
that, piggy backed on the cable. I did a google search and found about what
I need if I wanted to buy all the equipment.. Except I would rather build my
own. Seems to me I could modulate a low frequency carrier or DC signal and
send it back over the coax.

Joel,
There are a number of products on the market that do everything you want.
They wirelessly rebroadcast the output of your set top box to other TV's,
and also wirelessly send back the signals from the remote. I can't

remember
brand names off-hand, but do a search on "video sender" and you should get
some good hits.

I have a DSS receiver that I run into a modulator and then can use the
Satellite all over the house as if it was cable. The problem is we need

to
extend the IR from the remote control. We are now using some RF units

from
RCA and while they worked well for a few years, over time they are

drifting
off frequency. It seems to me it would make more sense to build some

sort
of 'device' to send the IR signals over the coax and then pull it out at

the
receiver end. Anyone have any suggestion or experience with building

such
an
animal?
