After reading some stuff on this thread.....I had a couple of questions.
1. What exactly does a RF extender do? Below is the picture of my cabinet that I had custom built for my media niche. The cable box is in the bottom center cabinet. RIGHT NOW, I have to leave it open if i want to control the cable box. I haven't bought any speakers yet and on a thread that I had posted asking for help, MDS suggested that I place the center channel speaker in either top or bottom center and put acoustically transparent grill cloth to make it look good. Will the cable box or whatever I put behind the cloth let IR work?
2. Also in the picture above, to the right side, I have a lamp plugged in that has a dimmer. Is there something I can purchase that will control the lights on the ceiling as well as this lamp. I want to be able to turn the lights on/off and control the dimmer througha remote.
