Thanks guys. I think that pretty much confirms
the 8811 for me. I think I understand the extender
stuff a bit better now.
For searching in Washington State, do stores like
Good Guys and Circuit City tend to stock these
remotes?
I don't know because I live on the East Coast. I don't believe that CC caries the 8811's
BTW, Rob Crowe (Robman) is the founder of the JP1 group and creator of
www.hifi-remote.com . In addition to being an extremely dedicated leader he is absolutely reliable.
I have also bought a couple of 8811's from him. So by all means check around, but I suspect that Rob will be your best choice.
