I have both a hardwired IR receiver (MCE remote @ newegg) hanging just under one HDTV, and a Radio Shack IR repeater on the first floor going through two walls (stairway) up to my computer room.
The Radio Shack repeaters work better for my stereo than for the MCE IR receiver, but I think it is because the transmitter will catch and re-broadcast signals that it picks up. So, if you used your remote in your closet, you get double button presses and such. The other thing is that the alignment of the remote to the IR receiver is more important than I realized.
