Hey everyone, I'm a newb at this stuff so please forgive me
I am almost finished with framing my new home and want to start wiring everything up, I have most everything undercontrol and am using mainlobby as my interface system after much research.
What I'm looking to do is have my sat receievers in my media closet along with my dvd changer and reciever which will be controlled by mainlobby and or the sat reciever remote. My question is what is a good IR interface from the server to turn on the television itself and how do I attach the IR end to the TV. I know it will be pretty easy to have the server IR control everything in the media closet but turning on the tV itself is what I'm confused about. I've never used it before so I dont know. I've seen the stick on blasters but wouldnt that inhibit me from using my existing tv remote by blocking the ir sensor? Would it be best to put a blaster in the wall infront of the tv hi up? Reason I say that is I dont want to see a wire with tape on my TV's ir reciever
thank you everyone, I hope someone can help me make sense of this
