Wired remote extender for Tivo?

[Colin]

....There are various IR extenders for sale around the place, but all seem to be via a radio link... I've tried that before, without a lot of success. And since I'm running cables anyway, I'd like to do it properly.

I've scoured the net for a suitable circuit, and found a number, but also various references to Tivo being tricky to get working with them.

So, anyone solved this problem already?

Cheers,

I have had a hard-wired system for a while using a kit from Jaycar Electronics, with the signal carried over 2 wires in the Cat5 network I put in the house when we built. It works fine for a variety of IR remotes including Sky, a VCR and a DVD player.

Now I have just got my new TiVo up & running, I was looking forward to it working with that too, but no such luck! It seems to register the remote's transmission, but no action at the TiVo end.

Anyone got any suggestions?
