Hey guys-
Has anyone had any luck finding an extension for the Hauppauge remote cable? Due to the IR Blaster, the thing has a 4-post jack design, which seems to be VERY unusual.
I tried to extend just the remote eye cable by splicing another cable into the middle of it. But the wire of the existing cable is so thing and brittle, it's very had to make the connection secure. It was working at first, but something must have giggled the wire and it now no longer works :/
If someone wanted to make some good side money, I bet there would be a nice demand for an extension cable for this.. Seeing as how they aren't available anywhere.
