Re: IR Blaster suggestion?

Thanks!

*EDIT* I just measured and it will be about 35 feet, 40 to be safe
or you can get a usb-uirt and be done with it. i have never connected that blaster to a reciever(though you can if you want to)instead i just reflected the signal off nearby objects(wall, chair, etc.) you didn't mention if you have one or more receivers but as long as they are operating on different ir channels there will be no problem.
