Remote control from another room

Thanks again.  I will check out iTunes and Musicmatch.com

I did get my Radio Shack 15-2117 8 in 1 IR/RF remote with extender for $29.99 plus tax yesterday.  I can now control my Living Room equipment from my Office room.  The only device I couldn't find a code for was my Samsung SIR-T151 HDTV tuner.  So I guess I will have to live with two remotes.  That's better than the 4 I used to need.  I'm excited to try Macros and other cool stuff this remote can do as well.

I emailed X10.com and asked them what would be the best solution to get Left and Right audio from one room to another.  I'm waiting for a reply.  I guess this new remote will be able to turn off lights and other home automation tasks too.  

Thanks for all of your help everyone.

This is the unit you want....comes with Transmitter/Receiver and IR remote.  You can buy extra receivers also.

Thanks Gregg.  That looks about right.  I don't need the remote though.  I'll be sending the information to the computer, not from it.  It would be cool if I could send the HD trailers I downloaded from the Windows Media HD site to my TV in HD.  Maybe that will come in the future.  I would think in the future they will make these things two way.  I would like to send stuff from my computer at times, and at other times send stuff to my computer.

Thanks for your help.
