Remote Controls....
Discussion
I'm sorting out a discreet TV install at the moment and would like some advice on remote controls.
I'm fitting alcove shelving both sides of my fire and I've spaced the 5 shelves so that I can remove the second one up on the left and wall mount the TV there. I've done the left hand set of shelves, have got the TV mounted and I'm onto tidying things up now.
My original plan was to leave the BT vision box and DVD player on the bottom shelf. However, neither needs to be visible, except for using the remote control.
Is there anyway to hide the boxes and still have them pick up the signal? Fibre optics or a mirror perhaps?

How about this:

I've used this in the past - http://www.keene.co.uk/keene-ir-distribution-amp-k...
Works really well (in the last house, we had the tv wall mounted with the IR repeater and the dvd player hidden in the walk in wardrobe)

As above but I've got this one: http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/product/harmony-ulti...
Can be had for quite a bit less than the RRP if you shop around.

The cheap way is to use the Neet boxes, I always keep a couple spare on the van just incase.
The better way is to use the Harmony Ultimate that achieves two things. Control of hidden and none hidden devices and everything held and processed by a single remote. I use these on my cheaper cinema installs and programmed properly they work really well.
