Hi all. I'm making the switch from shaw direct to shaw cable on Friday and a question just popped into mind. Right now I have one shaw direct HDPVR hooked up to two tv's in different rooms of the house and can control it from anywhere in the house with the remote control. Will I be able to do this with the shaw cable remote and HDPVR as well? It's kind of a deal breaker. Thanks to all who answer

Or, convert your IR remote to RF

You could try tracking down a UEI Remote Extender (converts your Shaw IR remote to use RF), made by the same company that makes the Shaw Universal Atlas PVR remote. A search for "Remote Control Extender" and perhaps part number SV1100 will bring up a few sources of this device, which goes for about $35.

The RF transmitter apparently sits in place of one of the AA batteries; the RF receiver re-emits the RF signal as IR in front of the set-top or other device(s).
