What are you using for a wired repeater system? I want to upgrade my
"pyramid" system.

I'm using a Xantech system but not the coax model Mark pointed you at. I
wanted multiple locations to control one area. There's one base module
with multiple IR emitters and the power supply at the main component
area then a small 4-conductor wire runs around the house with IR
receivers tapped into that. This one:

I have used only the coax system (for control from 4 locations),
although that one should work just as well.

Keep in mind, the system Mark pointed out will do just that as well. I have
the "base" package which controls your gear from 1 remote location and
multiple expansion kits for adding additional remote locations.

One additional thing: all splitters that this signal needs to pass
through must be DC-passing. Amplifiers create a problem. I avoided it
by amplifying the signal sufficiently before it gets to the emitter
connecting block.
