Where to Get IR 'Dome'?
 

In the cause of tidiness, my Freeview box is now inside a cupboard,
with a solid white painted wood door. No wires show, however, the
remote wont work (obviously).

I want to drill a hole in the door to let the IR beam in (the box is
janmmed up against the door).

What can I use to cover the hole to make it as discrete as possible?

Why not get some doors with opaque glass in them. IR should pass through
okay.

It totally depends on the glass.

Trouble is, the door is an original door built into the alcove at the
side of the fireplace so I'd rather leave it alone as much as possible.

The remote sender is a good idea, but I actually have a Freeview box,
and a surround-sound unit in there too - so I'd need 2 remote sender
kits. A bit expensive really.

Leaving the door ajar works, but, not very pretty!

Lots of options and I imagine one will suit!

I hope you have plenty of ventilation too.

Well I solved it very easily. The link to satcure (above) lead me to
the IR extender for the Freeview box itself, for =A312 plus p&p. The
discrete pod is next to the tv, and the thin connecting wire is
channelled with all the other TV cables inside a 'floating' shelf. Job
done.

Cheers Vortex.
