IR repeater. You plug it in to a box that receives IR (usually small that you can cleanly hide in the room with the tv, then you run the cables in to a closet where you've hidden your AV equipment and it repeats the signal to those boxes.
A lot of people are going to recommend the Harmony Home line of remotes (the ones that use the RF hub) with good reason. Everything else you find will have FAR, FAR worse support, community, documentation, etc.
If you're not going Harmony, you're rolling your own and doing something hacky, which is what I do. The main reason is because my media system is based on a Media Center PC which already has a dedicated RF remote.
Another reason is cost, the entry level price for Harmony Home is $99. Wired and wireless RF extenders are considerably cheaper, $30 or so.
I had really bad luck with multiple wireless/RF based IR extenders, so I eventually went with a wired extender: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BLTDZA/
The IR blaster cables run back into the cabinet and the receiver box is stuck to the edge of the TV. I can use all the IR remotes that come with the gear, or a universal IR remote.
The universal IR remote I current use is my smartphone, an HTC One M7 which has an IR port.
Thanks, I think this was kind of my plan. I'm not too worried about heat, the space is about 5 feet back and the width of the stairs, plenty of room for the heat to rise too. I might put a small exhaust fan in there if necessary.
Should I be concerned about dust you think?
Looks like the speaker wiring might just be coming through the wall, then going around the room just under the floor molding. It's lots of wire, but if I only have to do it once that should be okay I think.
This should work? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BLTDZA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3KWDRRCKDS7P0&coliid=I1JHZ4FWLTHHHL
What does it do, just take whatever input IR signal and then repeat it to all the IR devices it's connected to?
