IR works by line of sight or at the very least reflections so if your av gear is isolated you must have repeaters, which is more or less how the RF works only it works even if something is sitting in front of the receiver, which is why I am thinking more about Rf capabilities, no line of sight needed. And as Eric pointed out with long macros to work with it can become inconvenient to use a IR remote, not for me but the rest of the family tends to have issues.
