anyone have any comments/thoughts/tips on these and where & what to
buy?

I want to hide away the dvd vcr etc in a cupboard and control them
with the door closed...seems simple but usual bewildering array of
products, prices etc etc

thanks in advance for any thoughts

cheers

You might find it rather inconvenient trying to remote control
items with no visual feedback from them.

well currently said items are so far away that us oldies can't see the
titchy displays anyway!
The main device to hide is a HDD recorder - with that one all feedback
is done thru TV screen.
The idea seems popular and well established - I'm just fishing for
experiences good&bad with the various products out there.

If you have a Virgin Media box, then only a limited number of these devices
work, as they use IrDA...

If you buy from somewhere like Argos, who offer a no quibble refund promise
, then you can always take it back if it does not work well.
