Does anyone know if anybody makes a converter to convert infrared remote
signals to radio(AM,FM,shortwave or what)?  What I want to do is to be able
to control my VCR from my bedroom with my remote.

My vision of how this thing should be is to have two devices.  One that sits
in my bedroom, or any other room, that converts the signals from the remote 
to radio.  And another unit sitting in my living room in front of my VCR to 
convert the radio signals from the other unit back into infrared for the
VCR.

If anyone makes such a product, I would be grateful if you would give an 
address or phone number or both of where I could get one.  Also, would this
device let me have more that one infrared--> radio boxes? i.e. one in the 
bedroom and one in the other bedroom, and would this device work on all my 
remotes (stereo, TV, VCR, CD,etc) without having to modify it?

Any replies would be appreciated.

Thanks,
