Sony Playstation 3 Control

    If I have a Sony Playstation 3 installed in a central area in my home, for example the utility room and am able to distribute it to any TV in the house, is it possible to boost the signal for the controller over cat5E or coax back to my central area allowing me total control of the playstation. I dont think its going to work on its own without some sort off booster.

    Thanks

    As far as I know, the only option you have is to purchase an extra long USB cable. The controllers work through Bluetooth so only have a 10 meter range. I'm not sure if the controllers work through the USB cable, though.

    get one of these

    it converts bluetooth to infra red. you can then extend the infra red signal through out the house with IR extenders

    Excellent idea. Don't know why I never thought of that. However, when the PSP is connected by Remote Play, the PS3 display is locked out. However, you could control the PS3 with the PSP [put on new movie, change music play list etc], then disconnect the PSP to re-enable the PS3 display.

    I'm not 100% sure this would work. I'd have to mess about with it for a while.
