Rick,
What model/brand of receiver do you have. My DISH receiver is RF Remote controlled. The receiver has a short (about 8 inch) antenna on the back. When I'm in the back bedroom watching satellite the remote back there changes the channel from the reciever in the family room. through walls, etc. The same thing in the Hanna 3400RL. No receiver in the bedroom but I can still watch satellite back there through the "dual" mode of the dish reciver in the living room. There was a whole thread on the hook up. I'm thinking you many have on of the older Infra-red (IR) systems.

Edited: You are correct if it is IR. The remote extender is the way to go. It works on RF.
