But that require dedicated hardware, able to receive commands over bluetooth/wifi. IR repeater can be build very cheaply, if not free (when using components scavenged from old devices/other projects).

not to mention, that our IR transmitter isn't becoming totally obsolete, as with sending commands over bluetooth/wifi

From sixwheeledbeast's link - this post seem to be conclusion:

Although, I don't know, what it mean in practice, it's not my area of expertise (yet). Does he mean, that we can just replace resistor by ones with 1/2 or 1/4 resistance and it will work with higher current (not voltage) flowing through diodes (= more power, or possibility to insert better diode), or not?

sixwheeledbeast, what you understand from that post?
