Hi guys,

I have been looking on google for weeks for this answer and I havn't found anything, so I have come here.

I have a Mediaportal Tv Server linked to my V+ box via a Hauppauge HD PVR.

I have 3 client machines which get the TV stream Off the TV server, an everything works brilliantly there.

I want to be able to use a V+ remote to control each of clients when using the TV stream. I currently use a MCE remote for browsing through the other things on MediaPortal, but the MCE remote lacks the buttons a V+ does, so I was thinking I could have 2 remotes for each client, A MCE for navigating and a V+ for flicking through the tv and on demand.

I cant use a blaster as I have no input for the V+ remote.

I don't want to use the devices that sit on top and transmit the IR waves wirelessly, due to reliability, the extra equipment, and as far as i know, its a 1:1 ratio

What I would like is an IR reciever to recieve the V+ remotes signals that I can plug into each client pc (Win7) and a IR Blaster I can plug into the server(win7) that repeats those signals. This would be the best option as each room has a network point and I really dont want to add any extra cables around.

Can anybody help?
