RF remote for my Direct sat box?

I am in the wiring stage if my basement remodel and was wondering is there a good RF remote that was reliable just in case u decide to hypodermic an AV closet? Thanks, Jeff

Sorry. Damn phone. I might go with a AV closet and was wondering if there is a reliable RF or maybe something along those lines. I haven't committed to a AV closet or just put the tv on a stand. Need to make up my mind soon as it is getting dry walled in 4-6 weeks

My rf remote works from at least 40 feet away. Not sure if this within your requirements, but thought it might help. I use it in the back of our RV with the receiver in the front.

Yes. In setup, under remote, it will give you the choice of IR or RF.

Got the remote working on RF. Wow is it fantastic, seems to be more reliable than my dish RF setup. Anybody know how far this remote will work? I am finishing my basement and was wondering if I could hide my reciever. Thanks

I can go thru 2 plaster and lathe walls, approx 30 feet from remote to receiver. Should work in a closet in same room.

Thanks for the input. I shouldn't have any problems then.
