To all you self concious male lovers, sorry about the title but I just had to spread the word regarding a recent little addition to our home theater system.

We are preparing to have a deck and gazeebo built for outdoor entertainment and relaxation - read mainly for the kids' inflatalbe swimming pool - and since they will require hours/years of supervision, I am naturally installing some outdoor speakers. That's were my problem started. Having to adjust the volume or change sources was going to be a real pain. Then one day while brousing through Audioholics.com I came across a review on a IR extender and decided to give it a try. It came in Friday and true to the review, it worked like a charm. I can now walk around the house and yard changing volume and sources. The other nice thing I like is the fact I can close all the entertainment center cabinets for a clean look.

It's a cool addition. For anyone interested, here is the link: http://www.nghp.net/
