guys,

is there such an extension cable that would allow me to plug the remote dongle into it??

basically, my xbox is hidden in a cupboard with my other av kit, i use an ir/rf extender to control my kit but it doesn't work very well with the xbox because the dongle is not in the line of sight.

if i could purchase an extension cable, i could move the dongle into the line of sight of the ir/rf extender!!??!!!

any ideas?

thanks in advance
stace :d

get a usb to xbox adapter and then use a usb extension cable or make your own

i did a random search and found this site where you can get the required cables.

http://www.llamma.com/xbox/shoppingc...d_adapters.htm

ideally you would build your own since that would be the cheapest.
