range on actisys IR blaster

received my pvr150 today.
very disappointed to see that hauppauge calims the ir blaster that ships with it is only good for 2" from device you are trying to control, and as such IR blaster needs to be pretty much on top of or next to the device(in my case satellite tuner).

so i'm posting here to get an idea if anyone knows the range for the actisys IR blaster? would it throw IR across a 20' room? most of my regular remotes can no problem.

I think you best option maybe a Wireless Remote Extender
IR across 20' on Actisys is not going to happing and it to need be 2" from device you are trying to control as well.

anyone ever tried the "myBlaster" products?

from http://www.mytvstore.com/product_id_001.html

looks good, promises 30 ft! more like a typical remote control.

says sage supported.
