X10 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) I have a satellite receiver in my family room and also have it wired with coax to the TV in my bedroom. I find it very inconvenient to have to go down to the family room to set up the channel I want to watch before I retire to the bedroom. I have to do this because the remote control I have for the satellite receiver won't work from my bedroom. Is there any way to control my satellite receiver using X10 products? X10 has a product called the POWERMID (Model PM5900). It consists of two elegantly styled pyramid shaped products. You plug one of them (the transmitter) into you bedroom and aim your satellite remote control at it. When you press a button on the remote control the POWERMID receives the infrared signals from your remote control and converts them into wireless radio frequency signals. It sends them to the other POWERMID which you have plugged in down in your family room facing your satellite receiver. This second POWERMID (the receiver) receives the wireless signals from the other POWERMID and converts them back into infrared signals to control your satellite receiver. You may want to purchase an additional remote control for your satellite receiver for added convenient so you can leave one in the family room and one in your bedroom, or you can purchase a Universal Remote Control to perform the same function as your satellite receiver remote control.. |
