What is a good remote sender to use for the latest Sky HD+ boxes?

I am duplicating the HDMI out to go to my kitchen, and one I used before did not work
 
If you are laying a HDMI cable to the kitchen then run a coax cable there too. Then add a Sky eye. This is by far the least expensive and most robust solution. You use both in tandem; watching via HDMI and controlling via coax back to RF2. Simples.
 
This is what I use.

Cost me just a few pence to put together and it'll control anything that uses the IR 38kHz frequency, so that means it can switch off the TV or whatever at the other end as well, if I wanted to do such a thing. It uses some simple two core cable to transport the signals to the remote IR LED.

Works better than the £40 wireless remote sender I bought for the other room. :)

As above - coax with your hdmi then a magic eye.
 
Anyone got any recommendations on how to do this for a V+ box? Doesn't seem quite as straight forward as it is for Sky boxes.
 
There are IR over HDMI devices so no need to run coax cable although looking at the price of them and some reviews on the rainforest, looks like coax is both cheaper and more reliable

HD/IP with IR built in. look at Wyrestorm EX-2UTP-IR-50
