Remote Control wire extention

[Big Stan]

First the good news. I've got my first PVR up and running in my basement. Everything went according to the book and works great. My plan is to locate the PC in my basement directly below my living room TV and run the cables up through the floor. I have 12' S-video and audio cables to make the connention but the cable on the IR receiver for the hauppauge remove is only a couple of feet long and won't reach.

Is there any reason I can't just cut the wires on the receiver and splice in an some extention wire? Has anyone done this?

I am gussing that there are RF remotes out there that would work also but would cost a few $$.:eek:

Thanks for any help anyone can send.

You can use standard extender cables. See http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=10181
