Abstract
The present invention is a method and apparatus for controlling a device by a remote controller. A receiving unit receives a first signal emitted by the remote controller and converts the received signal into a data stream. A communication medium carries the data stream from the receiving unit. A transmitting unit receives the data stream from the communication medium and converts the received data stream into a second signal compatible with the device.
