AJ_ Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 A friend has a Samsung TV. The IR line-of-sight on this TV is being blocked by the top of a center speaker. Is there any way to "move" the IR using a repeater bug alone or is there a need to get some powered device? I know how out-of-sight devices can be accommodated using a wireless IR repeater or IR-RF-IR solution but this is all in the same room and I am looking for a simpler solution.His current options are:- Move the center speaker - Get a wireless/IR-RF solution from RadioShackAny other ideas? He would prefer to simply have the IR transmitted from a couple of feet away to the TV.No Control4 here. Just a regular system. I checked his receiver and there is no IR out. There is HDMI Control but the TV is 3-4 years old and doesn't have CEC so I don't think it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 HC200? Drill a two inch diameter hole in the speaker?Just teasing....unfortunately I don't know of any solutions that don't require power. Does IR reflect? You could mount a mirror below the TV.

paulbirk Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Yeah try a mirror or a prism perhaps. Or if you're happy to open up the TV, you could try connecting an IR bug in parallel with the existing IR inside the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
