Usb Receiver Placement

Taken from ATI MMC Notes.

Quote:
For optimum reception, the USB receiver should be placed as far from the case of your PC as possible. Do not place it close to your TV. Leaving the cover off the PC, or having the receiver in close proximity to other high frequency devices may effect the range and/or reliability of the remote. If you have a USB HUB, connecting the receiver to the hub may increase the performance of the remote control.

I was wondering why the remote was flakey. Just how is a person supposed to place the receiver? HTPC near the TV and related amps and speakers, USB ports on the back of the PC, USB receiver WITH A 2 FOOT CORD, that makes sense. How well will the receiver work if I go buy a USB extension cord?

That should work fine - really not much difference than using a hub.
