I use a IR repeater in my house to control among other things a TiVo in the master bedroom. This TiVo output feeds the bedroom tv and a RF modulator, which is feed to other tv's in the house. The IR receivers are a Niles volume control / IR receiver, feeding a IR hub in a closet to feed IR blasters to Tivo.

So that's the background, here's the question.

Can I use a Harmony 890 with RF extender to feed the IR hub of Niles directly some how?

    If nothing else you can tape the harmony blinker to a Niles receiver. This is a pretty fool proof way from going from one system to another. If the harmony is the same voltage as the niles, you can probably hardwire it, but why bother if taping 'em works?
