Remote Control Infrared

Remote Control Infrared
Is there any gadget out there that bends remote control infrared signals?

My living room is setup such that all the A/V equipments are facing the side of the room. (there's no TV in front of me, I use an overhead projector). So everytime I have to walk over to the side of the room to change channels, etc. Is there anything out there that can reflect my IR signals 90 degrees?

No. IR signals are basically a frequency of light and really can't be bent (without some super particle accelerator or a flux capacitor). However, to echo Richy, you can get a universal remote from Philips, Logitech, Universal Remote Products, etc. which emits both IR and RF (radio frequency). RF does penetrate walls. A companion RF receiver in the equipment closet picks up the signals, converts them to IR, and sends the signals out through IR "blasters" which are little doohickys attached to the IR windows on the front of your a/v equipment. This should do the trick. Or, like my parents did, have kids that can get up and do the things a remote does.
