Hi there,
Excuse as I'm not sure if I should ask the question in Dutch or English - here it goes anyway as in Holland they all speak English 
OK - here is my question.
I want my TV just on the wall on its own - no satellite receiver - just the TV.
Not a problem - I drill a hole behind the TV - and all the cables go through that hole into the loft. (Op de zolder)
I now want to remotely control the Xtrend 9000 that I now have in the loft - with a HDMI cable.
I have purchased the following: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IR-Extender-Over-HDMI-Remote-Control-Extender-Receiver-Transmitter-Cable-Kit-Set/172511884614?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
So I now have Package Includes: 1 x IR Receiver Cable (IR-RX) 1 x IR Emitter Cable (IR-TX) 2 x HDMI Male to Female IR Adapter
All good so far - and I'm now testing the unit - and I'm halfway there.
The IR-RX is on the TV and works perfect - it picks up my signal perfectly - I can see a green led everytime I press on my Xtrend remote.
However, the IR-TX that I place on the Xtrend is the problem.
I'm not sure where to place it on the front of the Xtrend 9000 - as I'm not sure where the infrared receiver is??
So I moved it around and it sometimes works - and sometimes it does not. - Not reliable at all.
I think that when I know where the infrared receiver on the Xtrend is situated - I will have a better change of placing the IR-TX at the correct place for it to work all the time 100%.
I do not want to put the receiver in the loft if I cannot rely 100% on the channels changing when I press the remote.
So - can anyone please help me and show me where the best place is to put the IR-TX on the Xtrend?
Also - if anyone knows of a better way to do this - then please also let me know - there may already be someone who has done this and where it is working?????
Many thanks.
