Bit OT but here's the place to ask!. We have three satellite receivers
plus a freeview box cluttering up the place. We want to put these in one
room and mix the outputs together at RF on "spare" channels and feed
these into the aerial distribution system so that any TV can receive the
output of each box, and whatever channel its on.

Now does anyone know of a remote control system that say you can have a
"receiver" module in each room with a TV in it so that this "receives"
the output of any of the sat box controllers, and then another unit that
transmits this as it were to the boxes, presumably infra red then by
radio link then back to infra red again. Presumably we can have as many
remote control points as we like all being received at the end where the
sat boxes are.

If I read you're post right, (do you want to be able to view any of
the STB's on any TV or one STB per TV?).
If the former the problem I think you will experience here is that
transmitting an IR signal from one room to 3 satellite receivers is
that all three will operate as they will be set to the same frequency.
If you want to do the latter you can run individual links from each
room to it's respective STB.
As I'm not too sure whiich way you want to do it i'll leave the
details for now.
