DVD remothe extension ??

Might sound like an odd question !!!!

I will have my SKY HD, Panasonic DVD Recorder and Sony AV Amp tucked away very nicely in the lounge cupboard... now that leaves me with finding it hard to use the remote !!

iv heard u can buy such things like the magic eye for sky boxes that u can control sky from another room, so thats my answer for SKY HD but what abt the other equipment ? is der some sorta device like the magic eye that can do this for me??
