IR Extender with Contour 9852HDC Box?
Anyone know of a remote extender (and where I can get it) that works with the Contour Main Unit's IR port?
We just got Contour and I have a long-used Smarthome cabinet IR extender system for all the components in our cabinet, but the Contour unit even with an IR Blaster stuck on the front panel where I believe the IR receiver is - has absolutely horrible response - so bad that it isn't really usable.
Also is there a manual for that unit online? I did not get one from the tech. Or if someone could confirm where the IR sensor is in case that would be great (looks like there are 2 "eyes" in the smoky panel to the right of the display? I've tried both and can get a response from the box while behind the cabinet but as above - highly inconsistent).
Than you in advance..

If you are looking for one that plugs into the rear panel, try:

As far as the manual, the IPG manual is most useful. Just use the Trio (Contour) guide:

[BTW: Are you sure that the model number is 9852HDC, and not 9865 HDC?]
