Mark,

If I remember correctly, you use Powermids.  Do you have more than one pair?
Does the RF transmitter trasmit all the time or just when there is an IR
command to send?  This would be important if you had only one receiver and
two transmitters as the closest transmitter would be the only to get
commands through to the receiver if they both transmitted all the time.

Also if that was the case, they wouldn't do a very good job for Terry...
