TiVo : IR Extender

I've just tried to use one on my SA V+ without any luck and a Google search brings me here with the bad news that it doesn't work.

So, has anyone been able to use one with the new TiVo box?

What sort of IR Extender is it? They should work with the V+ no problem (and TiVo).

edit: Oh, you don't mean the Sky Magic Eye, do you? They would need an external power supply to work with a VM box.

Nah just a plain receiver one end, headphone jack the other, but none of the remotes I throw at it do anything :/

Ah, you are trying to use the jack socket on the back of the box? No, that won't work. You need an extender that has an IR transmitter.

Even on the TiVo? I'm trying to avoid using wireless stuff so close to the router.

Even on TiVo.

Wired IR extenders are available, though. Have a look on http://www.letsautomate.com

Huzzah! Thanks for the help SP.
