Please review my setup (linked) - we are contemplating putting the setup in a different workstation / desk / media area that would not be line of site from the projector and home theatre seating area.

Simple question: am I going to have issues with remote control of my components?

The area where the components would all go is about 20 feet from the seating area, partially obstructed by a wall, but otherwise open.

Thoughts?<ul><li><a href="http://forums.audiworld.com/htelect/msgs/11996.phtml">http://forums.audiworld.com/htelect/msgs/11996.phtml</a</li></ul>

I'd say 20 feet is marginal, but with an obstruction (wall) you will likely have problems.

I'd recommend either something like the Harmony 890 (which uses RF) or a Xantech IR repeater

Some equipment would probably recongize the bounce off walls some would not if you try to go around the wall.

I can bounce my signals off the ceiling sometimes for some gear

Visually and functionally I think the components definitely belong in a different area than the theatre area... based on my space. So I have to solve this problem now before we start construction or I have to rearrange things.

like listen up and see what their experience says.

I did a Universal RF setup with my HT,which will rock once beerock programs my remote but my Dad wants to hide one simple cable box behind a door-so a simple IR system is what I need.

Niles is one of the better brands, Crutchfield has the sytem for $199. I cant speak about Xantech or other brands, never seen them in action before.

They've always worked flawlessly
