It's referred to as an IR repeater.
Search for xantech or hot link pro.
The type of tv (like plasma) and cable box (like Uverse) you have can affect the performance of the ir receiver. The hot link pro works well with just about everything.

I have been using hot link pro for about 2.5 year, and it works fine. But, remember setting up the eye,which has to be still in line of sight, can be challenging sometimes.

Overall, a cost effective solution.

Wow! Just did the same thing at my new house, finished last night at 12:00AM. Got a Niles SS-4 speaker selector on Ebay for $54.99 with shipping to run mine. I used my old Denon AVR 3803 to hook the Niles to. I had to figure out where the red/black/white/green wires went into the Niles and then how to connect the Niles to the amp/receiver. I was so happy when I figured it out, I almost woke up the kids!

Send me a PM and I'll give you my email address and tell me what your wires and number of speakers you have and you can enjoy not going through the learning curve.

I'm having the same issue on the RF remote, all the equipment & wires are behind the couch and thinking about a Logitech Harmony 900 to run it.
